Irish forenames database please. Thank you.
Is there an alternative spelling for
'Dábh Lynch
BIRTH Kerry, Ireland'
Probably born between 1907 and 1919
possibly on Valentia Island.
-
Birth regs for that period are on Irishgenealogy.ie
The Reg District which covers Valentia Island is Caherciveen
There were 90 “Lynch” births during the period you mentioned.
Do you know anything else about the person?
If I had to make a guess at an alternative by the pronunciation I would guess Dai (Welsh version) or David of which there were 2 births one in 1916 and the other in 1919
This is just gueswork though!

DÁIBHID, DÁIBHIDH, genitive — id. (the same), David; Hebrew — Dávídh, beloved, probably a shortened form of Dodavahu, beloved of Jehovah; the name of the great King of Israel, psalmist and prophet; the national name in Wales, out of reverence for St. David of Menevia; rather common among the Anglo-Normans, who brought it into Ireland, where it has ever since enjoyed a steady popularity. In the spoken language it is often shortened to Dáith and Dáth, with diminutive Dáithín. Latin — David, -is.
-
Dábh would be pronounced Dawv.

JC,
thankyou for your informed guesswork that will help me extend all the siblings.
The LYNCH family is of the partner of my brother. The LYNCH family still own a family property on Valentia Island.
So far, I have not spotted this family on the Irish 1911 Census.
I shall, of course be delighted to hear from anybody who might have encountered this LYNCH family!
So far I have probable parents as:
David Daniel Lynch
1875–1961
BIRTH 3 OCT 1875 • Valentia Island, Kerry, Ireland
DEATH 1961 • Valentia Island, Kerry, Ireland
and
Johannah Bresnan
1880–
BIRTH 21 DEC 1880 • Doonvullen Upper Kilmurry, Limerick, Ireland
DEATH ??? Valentia Island, Kerry, Ireland
Their children are probably all deceased but include:
Mairead Mary Lynch
1907–2006
BIRTH 23 JUL 1907
DEATH NOV 2006 • Northampton, Northamptonshire, England
====
Kathleen Lynch
1909–1999
BIRTH 11 MAR 1909 • Coromore, Valentia, County Kerry, Ireland
DEATH OCT 1999 • Stoke Golding, Hinckley, Leicestershire, England

Are you certain that this is his family through the siblings?
What records do you have for Dábh? Did he stay in Ireland or leave?
There is a David b Coromore but not those parents.
