Default Irish names

The opposite is the lack of use when people leave it out, or worse when it's not allowed in your name. O'Hara, O'Toole, O'Connor etc. have an apostrophe, always have, and now you often can't use it. I've had problems with airline tickets against my passport and being found in a data base. It was never an issue for the first 50 years or so but today it is often a problem.
