HelpRe: Shelagh
in reply to a message by A
I'm in the U.S. So if a woman from Ireland says that Shelagh is a legitimate Irish spelling then who am I to contradict her?
It does look very odd, though. Sile immediately popped to mind as the Irish form. If I just saw it written somewhere, without your info, I would have assumed someone in the U.S. with Irish roots got Sheila and a shillelagh mixed up.

It really does look that way. Thanks for the giggle!
I did some research and it does seem to have originated in Ireland, for what it's worth. Doesn't exactly make it a 'legitimate Irish spelling' though :)
