Jorge...Seoirse i nGaeilge.
Seoirse in Irish. I know of a boy
here whose father is Eireannach
(an Irish person) and this boy uses a real Irish name (as in an Irish Gaelic name)
Seoirse for a nickname and for a screen name.

These Sasanach names are
not Irish. They are English
imports. Want a real Irish name?
Then use the Irish Gaelic ones.
James is an English name and Seamus is the real Irish version of James. Avital, Chloe etc. are imports and not Irish Gaelic names. The closest one is Blossom whose Irish Gaelic version is Blath meaning Flower.

Joekensall: Can't wait until Alan Shatter and his ilk shatters their panties when the pet Mohammeds they import into Ireland turn on them as they do in France!

I see American names of children have had their impact in Ireland. In Germany names like Kevin and Sean were big for male babies a few years ago. My local vintner is Jorge, and I like that name. For girls how about Shakira Shakira?
