AKA
Saiv of Lough Neagh, original anglicized version from original research book (pre-internet) plus the name of the lake (lough) my family was originally from in Ireland.
Sibhaidh of Lough Neagh, guestimated gaelic spelling based on discussions with those who speak Irish
Searching ancestry dot com and locating the name connected with family and marriage records, I found the correct spelling of the gaelic name. Searching for this name in the records at St. Gabriel, is what led to my choice of Sadhbh.
Some further research showed that Irish generally didn't list as from a place unless they were a king of that place. The tendency was to address one's lineage through the patriarchal line, inghean meaning daughter of, and Toirrdhealbhaigh eventually referring to the modern day Terrence...my modern father's name.
I chose the descriptor as a fun bit. First, there are actually a fair number of Ladies using Sadh and Sadhbh in the SCA. So to differentiate is proper Irish tradition. Using hair or size or complexion was the norm, and thus Bheag seemed appropriate. It means wee or small, diminutive. After being used as the crenel in the shield wall a number of times for the pikemen to poke over, I felt this was as good a descriptor as any and more provable than many. I mean, I'm only 5'2"
