Just a quick note: If a guy is named William, Bill, Billy, he is a protestant (after William of Orange--the protestant King of England that they go absolutely crazy for, and where all the orange orders get their name from). If someone has a name that is either impossible to pronounce or seems to have too many letters in it, they are Catholic. Examples: Áine (Annya), Clíodhna (Kleeuhnuh, very popular. You can imagine how long it took me to connect the sound of the name to the written form), Aoife(Eefa), and so on.
