Coleen Murtagh Paratore: Hello. My name is Coleen Murtagh Paratore. The name Coleen means girl in Gaelic. Three of my four grandparents were born in Ireland. I grew up in my Irish grandmother's home. Coleen is a very Irish name, although my name Coleen is spelled a little differently. My mother, for some reason, chose to spell it C-O-L-E-E-N, only one L. Most people who have the name Coleen spell it with two L's. Murtagh is M, as in Mary, U-R-T-A-G-H, is my maiden name, and Paratore, P, as in Peter, A-R-A-T, as in Tom, O-R-E, is my husband's last name. My full name is Coleen Murtagh Paratore.
