There's also some discussion among the SCA heralds as to the formation of
dad, grampa and great-grampa's names. Some folks insist it should be
'Eochada' and that it should be 'mic' Fielimid and 'mic' Diarmuid. I think
my name is actually registered as "Cairbre macc Eochada micc Fedelmid". I
try to ignore the fact that the 'cc' construction is completely irrelevant
because until the church steps in and starts documenting things, Irish is
an entirely phonetic language. The 'Eochada' is also iffy but I let the
heralds get away with it because it saved me having to submit another ten
pounds of documentation. I don't remember the specific grammatical terms
for it, but I believe 'Eochada' is a genitive form of Eochaid. If we were
talking about me in the third person, it would be 'Cairbre mac Eochada',
'Eochaid's son, Cairbre'; as opposed to Cairbre mac Eochaid; 'Cairbre who's
father is Eochaid.'
Okay, probably WAY more information than you were after...

Cairbre mac Eochaid was born in what will eventually be reckoned as the year 263. He's the son of Eochaid and Eithne who were the keepers of a traveller's Inn near the junction of the rivers Nire, Suir and Tar.

After convincing his father that the business would be better kept by his younger brother,Aodh, Cairbre followed in the footsteps of his Great-grandfather, Diarmuid and took up arms as a profession. This served him well as through deeds and words, he became the Righ of the Tuatha 'n Blatha an Oir.

Later, after having been gifted the lands surrounding the mountain overlooking Blatha an Oir's beflowered plains, he settled and has since stayed on as Righ Tuatha an Gaella Carria. Known to be moody, wordy and occasionaly to open his mouth before he probably should. All in all, he's basically a decent guy.
