From the IRLchess website, a post by Mel O Cinneide (aka Mel Kennedy):

<Not that it matters much, but this is a site about Irish chess history and my name change will confuse anyone looking at old tournament results, so here’s what happened. My name is Mel Ó Cinnéide, and always has been — it’s what’s on my birth cert, passport etc. As a kid I often called myself Mel Kennedy, and that’s the name I used when I first played competitive chess. A few years living in the Netherlands in the late 1980s convinced me that using two names was a bad idea, and it also meant that my Irish and FIDE chess ratings were under different names! So sometime in the early 1990s I bit the bullet and started using my proper name in the Irish chess world as well.>
