9. _Sorcha_ is still the name of several women in Ireland, especially in the province of Ulster; but the rising generation are beginning to object to it as being too Irish, and are determined on having it changed to Sarah or Sally. The writer is acquainted with families in whom this name is hereditary, and among whom the mother is always called Sorcha, and the daughter Sally; and though the latter knows that her own and her mother’s name are the same, still would she blush to hear her own name pronounced _Sorcha_. The name Sorcha signifies clear, bright, and might be well rendered Lucy or _Lucinda_; but we should like to see it preserved in its primitive form, which is not to be despised either for its sound or signification. 10. _Una._ This name is still in constant use among the women of Ireland, but when speaking English, they invariably anglicise it to Winifred or Winny. The writer is not aware that any other name which was in use in the ancient Irish time is now retained, except the foregoing. The names Catherine, Evlin, Eleanor, Isabella, Mary, Honora, Sheela (Celia), and many others now in use, and supposed to be of Irish origin, do not occur in the Account of Remarkable Women above referred to, and there is no reason to believe that they were ever in use in ancient Ireland. The following is a list of curious names of women which occur in the authentic annals and in the History of Remarkable Women. It is highly probable that a few of them are of Danish origin:-- 1. Aevin, _i. e._ Amoena; 2, Africa; 3, Albi and Albin; 4, Allin; 5, Alma, all good; 6, Alphin; 7, Athracta.
