Anybody know Irish last names?

[enwar3]

I met somebody with a last name pronounced "koo-ney" (rhymes with loony), but I forgot to ask how they spelled it. They said it was Irish though.. anybody know? I'm just curious, because it doesn't strike me as an Irish name at first.

Or Smythe, since the OP is so dense...

Cooney? Sounds more English than Irish.

Cooney is correct as in Gerry Cooney the former Great White Hope Boxer.
