The name Bridget was found among nine per cent of first generation immi- grants, which dropped to around one per cent in the second generation. Conversely, the popularity of typical English Protestant names like George and William surged among the Irish immigrant communities. Lead author Dr Malcolm Smith said: We think that people chose to avoid traditional names to minimise preju- dice. The research shows how people re- act to a new environment, and can be applied to understanding dynamics of migrant identities and culture change in general, said authors Dr Smith and Professor Donald MacRaild. Crowned: Charles Mumbere Nurse is now king of the mountains A NURSING assistant has become king of Ugandas Mountains of the Moon region and inherited 300,000 subjects. Charles Mumbere was crowned to the sound of drumbeats and cheers from thousands of supporters in Ugandas Rwenzururu kingdom. His coronation came after the African president, Yoweri Museveni, reinstated the kingdom ten years after talks began on the matter. Its a great moment to know that finally the government has understood the demands of the people whove been seeking recognition of their identity, the new king said. Everyone is very happy, said an onlooker who walked miles to witness the coronation on Monday. King Mumbere, 56, left the country in 1984 to study in the US and was granted political asylum there in 1987. He has since been working as a nursing assistant at care homes in Pennsylvania. He inherited the royal title after his father died leading a secessionist group in the Rwenzori Mountains, known as the Mountains of the Moon, in the 1960s. Ugandas kingdoms were outlawed in 1967.

BY ROD MINCHIN Why our Patricks came very close to dying out IRISH Roman Catholic names such as Patrick and Bridget almost died out among 19th-century Irish immigrants in Britain owing to fear of discrimina- tion, new research reveals. A fear of prejudice made Irish im- migrants steer clear of giving their children Irish Catholic names, a trend also seen in todays society among other immigrant communities else- where in the world. A study, which examined more than 30,000 records in England and Wales, found that the number of Irish Catho- lic names was dramatically lower among the second generation, while the frequencies of English Protestant names went up. In other studies, some from the modern day, similar trends have been found for the Turk- ish community in Germany, Indians in Australia, and Irish migrants in the US, say the authors. The researchers at Durham and Northumbria universities, in the UK, said the findings gave further insight into the pres- sures faced by immigrants generally and what they do to try to integrate. The researchers compared the fre- quency of first names among first and second generation Irish at the 1881 census of England and Wales of 17 counties that were chosen for their substantial Irish-born populations.
