[Áine] -- “Book of Irish Names,” Ronan-Coghlan, p 10
[The Dream Seeker] -- “Heroes of the Dawn -- Celtic Myth,” by Fergus Fleming, according to the copies submitted:

[Dream Seeker] is a description of Áine and what she does. After all, being in the Society and doing certain things is called ‘in service of the Dream’, so we are all Dream Seekers.” Included are examples of important Celtic Dreams Heroes of the Dawn.”

Petulengro, the other trade name, is borne by the Gypsies whoare known to the public by English appellation of Smith...."
