I was happy to see my daughter's name (Tegan) in this book (page 73).
Auoregan(page 78)(ow-RAY-gahn) has been added to my guilty pleasure names now.
Lughán (LOO-awn)(page 49) is now added to my short boy name list but I am certain Louis will veto it.

Bought around the time my sister was expecting her first child. Actually kept this one for myself. Love all things Celtic.

This is a good book of names, divided by country, then in alphabetical order. It gives satisfying details of the name's origin and phonetic pronunciation. There is an overall index in the back.

Interesting history of the languages and names of Celtic regions.
