Are there any examples of an Irish lake named "loch" rather than "lough"? Could we move this page to List of Irish loughs?

1) Not as far as I know; and 2) Yes, why not? (I've done it, anyway...) -- Picapica 22:13, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Any lakes named loch instead of lough, you ask. How about every single one of them in the Irish language! An Muimhneach Machnamhach 14:08, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, as someone who speaks Irish I'm aware of that, and certainly we can include that information here on Wikipedia. But this is the English version, so there is no need to have a lengthy page title to include the Irish term (even if the term is introduced in the article).

Should this article include lakes whose name do not include the word "Lough" in their name? (I know there are not that many...) Should we rename the article to "List of Irish lakes" as that term is more generic? NotMuchToSay 13:36, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
