    As there are many families named Fitzpatrick and O'Reilly in this district some of them have nicknames such as "Bawns", "Antonies", "The Hacklers", "Philies", "Sticks", and "Yellow Mick". The O'Reillys of Uragh are always called "Bawns" (Frank Bawn, Hugh Bawn etc.) A family named Brady is called "Gallop the Goat". A woman the name of Mc.Mahon is called "Straight Anne" because she is so straight. An old woman named Fitzpatrick was called "Rosie the Box" because she always carried a snuff box with her.
