Adam, great observation. This is what I believe as well, that they were poking fun at him by calling him Irish. If that's true, and seeing the name "McCreachery" is does not exist in real life, then it's also possible that the name McCreachery was invented as an elaborate pun containing the word "Creach" and the names "McCrea" and "Chery".
We'll never know for sure, but the pun and the joke of him being Irish fit very well within the context of the life and times of Deacon White.
