The following post-em from Curt Hofemann, curt_hofemann AT yahoo.com, puts doubt 
on her name (at minimum) and probably even her existence. I can't say that I disagree 
(Marmaer is a title, not usually a name).

I've seen this listed this way all over the internet. Also her gf is listed as "Lord of 
Mormaer", from Paget. To my knowledge Mormaer was a title not a place. So saying 
Lord of Mormaer is thus redundant. Also "of" or "de" Mormaer is like saying a king's 
dau was called (?) of King or (?) de King. (And why the French "de" in Scotland in the 
900's?)

It is also doubtful that Crínán's dau would ever be titled Mormaer. If she inherited the 
honor, which is extremely doubtful considering she had brothers, her husband would 
have carried the title not her. Whether there was a special title for the wife of a 
Mormaer (eg; an English earl's wife = countess), I am unaware of what it was.

If you find that I am wrong about this, I would be most grateful should you be so kind 
as to let me know. Thanks.

Regards,
Curt
