Re: Looking for a surname...
I can't find "Loose" in my Irish name book that includes all names currently in the Irish phone book ...not that it never existed, but it would have obviously been a corruption of an Irish name ...Just sticking to "L's", there are many not-so-Irish sounding names found in Ireland such as Long (very numerous), Lord (moderate numbers), Losty (rare, scattered), Lott (rare), Love (numerous), Lovely (rare) ... just to name a few

Thanks. I quite like Losty. I never realised Love was such a popular surname!
