Talk:Erin

Male name
An anonymous editor claims that the name is unisex. Wiktionary claims exclusively female. Does anyone know of any male Erin?  D b f i r s   19:01, 29 July 2008 (UTC)


 * (later) Google seems to agree that Erin can be a female or a male name.   D b f i r s   19:33, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

erin the name is totally cool —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.236.118.139 (talk) 00:42, 26 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Recent edits about male version in India are presumably from a different derivation of the name, and would therefore presumably be a different article, and a hatnote would be carried from this article to that article. Additions to this article should be referenced appropriately, not with anecdotal comment. billinghurst  sDrewth  06:54, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Singular
"Eirinn" is said to be dative. It is also singular, but because of its meaning, it is hardly ever used in the plural. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.137.170.8 (talk) 12:41, 13 August 2009 (UTC)


 * A bit like Germany - but before the Reunification there was briefly talk of the two Germanies in the British Press (mostly, I suspect, so the broadsheets could broadside the red tops over the spelling). I don't suppose the Irish Gaelic Press ever refers to the two Irelands (i.e., Northern and the ROI)?

 * If they did, it would still be in the singular and probably in the dative, as Irish traditionally used the dative singular after the number two, although in the modern standard the nominative singular is usual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.111.22.26 (talk) 14:53, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Erin in the work of William Blake
Why is there no mention of the character of Erin in the work of William Blake? See, for example, the entry in the Blake Dictionary by Foster Damon. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=BInf0BiZolgC&printsec=frontcover&dq=blake+dictionary&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&sa=X&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=erin&f=false 109.151.72.27 (talk) 15:21, 13 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi. I'm personally not sure what change you are proposing to make to this article (or what mention you propose to make and where). However, I would note that Erin (personification) is probably a better place to discuss the use (by any artist or any writer) of Erin as a personification of Ireland. This article is primarily about the name/word itself. And its derivation/history/etc. Use of the name/work, as a personification of Ireland, is covered elsewhere. (In the same way that the Hibernia and Hibernia (personification) articles are separated. Or the Liberty and Liberty (personification) or Hispania and Hispania (personification) articles are distinct. If you're therefore planning on adding content about Blake's use of Erin as a personification/representation of something, then perhaps it isn't here because it's not really the place for it...
