Submitter desires a masculine name.

Consulting Herald Katrijn van Delden.
Submitter is from Dismal Fogs.

Client desires male name suitable for his interest in the Isle of Man (Manx, prior Anglo Saxon), 14th Century

As the Isle of Man is between Scotland and Ireland, we have this reference:

*Fergus is listed as the fourth most popular name, with a count of 140, in Tangwystyl verch Morgant Glasvryn's "100 Most Popular Men's Names in Early Medieval Ireland" (http://heraldry.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/irish100.html).

*It is also found as the standard Old and Middle Irish Gaelic nominative spelling of the name of 33 men in Mari Elspeth nic Bryan's "Index of Names in Irish Annals" (http://www.medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Masculine/); it is found in entries dated between 503 and 926, and between 1402 and 1599.
