Several people have told me that the spelling Páraic is an odd spelling for Pádraig and yet I have purchased two books by different Páraics - Páraic Kerrigan and Paraic O’Donnell - and only one Pádraig. The Paraic I know best spells it like that too. So now I’m curious how many other people find it a normal spelling also.
(By ‘normal’ I don’t mean ‘the most common spelling’. Answer yes if you wouldn’t be surprised someone spelling it like that.)
Is Páraic a normal spelling of the name and where are you from?
Yes - Connaught
No - Connaught
Yes - Munster
No - Munster
Yes - Ulster
No - Ulster
Yes - Leinster
No - Leinster
Yes - outside of Ireland
No - outside of Ireland
I don’t know the name Páraic/Padraig at all
