I like Maureen Ireland, nice!

Maureen Erin

My niece’s name is Maureen Elizabeth (Momo when young, Mo now). She’s 25. My SIL wanted to name her after the most beautiful woman she could think of, Maureen O’Hara. I was thrilled when I heard their choice all those years ago and I still think it’s a great name to use now. :0) Not that it needs any nicknames, but I so rarely get to discuss this name that I’m going to throw another one out: Mor. It’s a name in it’s own right in Irish, meaning "great." Just a thought.
