[Facts] Shellagh
Just spent quite a time reading everyones posts. Most people here seem very nice and not afraid to be helpful.My question is this....I went to Jr. High school (now known as "Middle School") with a girl named Shellagh. I liked the name (not the girl) so much that I named my daughter that, plus it went well with the middle name I had picked out; Rae.I always thought it was Irish in origin, but the only place I have found the exact speeling is on the website for the "Manx" language. There it means "willow". Anyone have any ideas?

I almost forgot. It is pronounced Shell - a, the "gh" is silent. I did notice that there was a Shelagh on this site, but it is pronounced like
Sheila. Not the same at all.Thanks again!
