HelpRe: A fake Irish name
in reply to a message by Siri
They are used by people who have less than an ounce of Irish blood in them, to fit into the trend.
I hate that. People that go "Oh, yes, I have Irish heritage. My great-aunt's cousins next-door-neighbour's cat comes from Ireland, which is why I feel fully justified to name my daughter Scoithniamh-Caoilfhionn-Irylynn and lecture people on "my" home country whenever possible."

I really don't know anyone who does that, because I live in an area of the US that has a large population of Irish descent. I'm half Irish/Italian myself. But I find it odd to even say that, when we go back so far on my father's side that none of my grandparents or great grandparents were born there or ever set foot there.
As my Mom always said, we're American first and foremost.
