Sheila's
Just a little tidbit I came across while reading my book of celtic first names:
"Sheila (Irish, Scots, female)
A version of Gaelic Sile, Celia. This name became highly popular in Australia, to the extent that all girls were 'Sheilas'. The version Shelagh is still found."
Curious eh? Makes sense though, in that strange kinda way.
