HelpRe: Big family in the news…

They're all over the map, style and era-wise.
Can you get more stereotypically Irish Catholic than Bridie without resorting to Mary?
Kateri really stands out. It's a saint name, though not the saint's actual birth name. Kateri was a Mohawk (I think) Indian woman whose Mohawk? name meant something like "she gropes with her hands" because she was nearly blind. Kateri is a sort of Mohawk renndering of Katherine.
I actually know a Kateri, she's probably in her fifties and of Italian descent. I like the name better than Katherine, but it sure seems out of place in this family.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
