[edit] History of the name Doyle

While entertaining, the amount of information given is inappropriate for a DAB page and the language is more like a novel than encyclopaedic. It may also be questioned for originality. Doc 22:35, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Norse descent

if its norse descent rather than referring to the spanish, shouldn't it of been blonde stranger —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.74.132.207 (talk) 13:39, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Don't let stereotypes of Scandanavian-looks lead you astray, not all Vikings would have been as blonde as todays Swedes. What about the Norwegians and Danes, after all? Note that Scotland's Dougall (dubh gall), from whom Clan Mac Dougall, claims descent was descended from the King of Norway. Look at the Clann Doyle webpage http://www.doyle.com.au/ (granted, it's in severe need of updating, but it states they are descended from vikings rather than Spaniards). Do you have any proof aside from hair color for this assertion that Doyle's are descended from Spaniards? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.72.99.178 (talk) 01:54, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
