What's in a name? A traditional naming pattern was often used by Irish parents up until the 19th Century.  Some families strictly adhered to the pattern and, if a child died in infancy, the next born child of the same gender was given the same name as the deceased infant to ensure the pattern continued. Other families were more flexible in their application of the pattern and were also influenced by current naming trends (e.g popular saint's names), national heroes or much loved friends and the like. So, what is the naming pattern? First son usually named for the father's father Second son usually named for the mother's father Third son usually named for the father Fourth son usually named for the father's eldest brother Fifth son usually named for the mother's eldest brother First daughter usually named for the mother's mother Second daughter usually named for the father's mother Third daughter usually named for the mother  Fourth daughter u...

  Who was Hingo? Who was Hingo? UPDATE: Hingo was Denis Hingerty (1918-2000),  son of  Thomas Hingerty who was born in Preston, Lancashire in 1889. Thomas moved back to Ireland with his mother after the death of his father. He became a policeman and lived in Dublin, marrying there in 1917. Thank you to the Thomas descendant who solved this mystery for me. Denis is also mentioned in Roddy Doyle's book In his book about his parents'  lives, including growing up in Dublin, Roddy talks about Tommy Hingerty, Tom's sister Noeline and also their brother Denis who worked up in Belfast and who shared his fancy white bread with neighbours when he came home for the holidays. So, Denis is mentioned in two books about growing up in Dublin- quite a literary celebrity! Leave a Comment or send an Email hingerty@one-name.org
