Nicknames Of Ennis Monday, 31 March 2014 Growing up in Ennis in the 70s one knew of many characters in the town with nicknames but that trend seems not to be the case nowadays. The conversation started over a few pints and led to a lot of debate so I decided to put together a list of nicknames that I knew of and had heard from my late father Gerry. Obviously there are many I missed but check out the following and if there are more that come to mind let me know at moroneyfamily@hotmail and well add to the list. But for now peruse and enjoy a trip down memory lane. ** Ennis Nicknames ** Tom (Hawker) Blake , Tony (Boston) Blake, Coco Broderick, Jim (Big) Burke, George (Dodo) Bradley, Michael (Foggy) Butler, Paddy ( Weesie) Carmody, Michael (Geets) Carmody, Jack ( Buster) Carroll, Michael ( Chief) Chandler, Michael ( Downey) Considine, Willie ( Dodger) Considine, Tom ( Dagger) Cooney, Johnny ( Joker) Coote, Mick ( Sutt) Coote, Cyril (Slim) Corry, Frank ( Shank) Costelloe, Paddy ( Giles) Coughlan, Napper Cullinan, Michael ( Darby) Cullinan, John (Nobby) Corry, Bernie (Champ) Dilger, George ( Muscles) Dilger, Michael ( Gruggy) Dilger, Massey Dilger, Michael ( Bant) Dilger, Gerard (Stunt) Dilger, Michael ( Doc) Doherty, Paddy ( Boo) Doherty, Michael ( Danno) Doyle, Paddy (Basil) Dinan, Billy ( Botch) Fahy, Edward ( Bucky) Flynn, Freddie ( Coggie) Gilligan, John Joe ( Doll Dido) Gilligan, Michael (Hopper) Glynn, Michael (Ganga) Griffin, Coppernob Goulding, Ned (Sailor) Gray, John ( Glory) Guilfoyle, Paddy (Polo) Guilfoyle, Paddy (Whack) Guilfoyle, Peter ( Slavery) Guilfoyle, Gerry (Cags) Gilligan, Michael (Dot) O Halloran, Gerard (Bubbles) O Driscoll,Frank (Soapy) Higgins, Josie (Cockaball) Hogan, Christy (Click) Houlihan, Paddy ( Paudge) Hynes, Kansas Keane, Tommy (Gessler) Keane, John ( Dugger) Kearney, Paddy ( Cus) Kelly, Sean (Torah) Kelly, Rory (Lava) Kenny, Sean (Nobbers) Kelly, Kelso King, Martin (Custy) Linnane, Jack ( Taoiseach) Lynch, Michael (Dashie) Maher, Tony (Lowery) Maher, Michael (Pharoh) Mahony, Miko (Mixer) Molone, Pako (Brophy) Malone, Gearoid (Mannix) Mannion, John (Brudsy) McCarthy, Sean ( Bacchus) McCarthy, Sean (Bombs) McCarthy, Noel (Squaw) McCarthy, Mixie McGuane, Christy (Swaddie) McMahon, Paddy (Cock) McMahon, Frank (Diver) McNamara, Patrick (Archie) Meaney, Christy (Tar) Meehan, Bomber Moloney, James (Dutcher) Moloney, Gerry (Stud) Moloney, Martin (Hansome) Moloney, Brendan (Barcelona) Moloney, Tony (Topper) Morrissey, Anthony (Cato) Moloney Paddy (Whacky) Murphy, Brudsy O Halloran,John (Chucks) O Sullivan, Michael (Paddence) O Loughlin, Christopher (Dabber) Pilkington, Noel (Lommie) Pilkington, John ( Langer) Rogers, Michael ( The Brain) Reynolds, Dinny (Lals) Rice, PJ (Pudsy) Ryan, Paddy (Sweeper) Ryan, Pat (Millie) Ryan, Liam (Scruff) Ryan,Tony (Beef) Shannon, James (Sham) Spellissey, Michael (Wag) Skelly, Michael (Beezer) Spellissy, Aidan (The Tut) Tuttle, Font Tobin, Francis (Spinky) White. ****
