First names tend to be booring. I like last names better. I do Genealogy and came accross the name Haughey for an Ancester from Ireland. From my notes it is pronounced "Huffey" and is Celtic for "Son of a Horse". They are thought to have been Cavalry men or mounted troops.

Another name I came accross was Searight may be spelled seivewright, seawright. One of the ancestors was supposedly at the Seige of Ulster by this name.
