As Americans, we love to embrace the Irish's ability to have a good time. We flock to pubs on St. Patrick's Day [1], we wear green [2] in honor of our heritage, and we occasionally knock back creamy pints of Guinness [3]. And if you're lucky enough to identify as an Irish-American, you probably feel a very strong sense of pride. So what better way to honor that pride than by giving your kids beautiful and unique Irish names [4]?
