Footnotes

  1. ^

    Old Irish Aed is an Irish God/Prince of the Daoine Sidhe. Middle Irish Aodh is one of the children of Lir who was turned into a swan.

  2. ^

    Old Irish Áedócán is a double diminutive -óc-án. The equivalent double dimunitive was also used in Germanic, before largely merging into -kin/-chen. The separate dimunitives can be seen in some archaic English word pairs: hill/hillock, bull/bullock, balls/bollocks and maid/maiden, cock/chicken (the last, with i-mutation umlaut, similar to the process that created goose/geese, mouse/mice pairs)

  3. ^

    Keegan is my son's middle name. Cause I think I'm funny.
