[MR] Questions about personas

[Tara Southerland]

Greetings all,

I am very interested in creating a scottish persona from the 12th century. When researching names I found lots of translations of  names, ie: jennifer, mary etc.  Would there have been people with non-gaelic names translated into gaelic or is that a fairly new phenomenon.  I must say this is all very confusing.  For instance, I am very fond of the name Iseabail which is the gaelic version of Isobel, would a parent of the 12th century name a child this?  I must say the perfectionist in me would hate to have a name that wasn't even period!  Forgive me if this email doesn't make any sense <grin>

Cordially

Iseabal
