  1. Nicknames

    Share Share Post
    It would be impossible to distinguish the numerous Ryan Families without nicknames. Only very rarely are nicknames resented and are the ordinary names of the people.
    They seem to have been adopted in various ways
    (1) from father's Christian name i.e.
    Ryan Rodger
    Ryan Rody
    Ryan Billy
    Ryan Éamonn Donnchadh
    Ryan Andy
    Ryan Davy
    Ryan Denny
    Ryan Joe
    Ryan Lar
    Ryan Tom
    Ryan Ned
    Ryan Pat
    Sometimes these get a turn such as Lar's Bill, Ned's Tom, Pat's Paddy, Davy's Tom, Mick's Rodger or so on
    From Appearance or Complexion we have
    Ryan Dubh
    Ryan Ruadh
