He is a Norseman by way Minnesota. Ah Yup!
Calling him Irish is going to give Kieran nightmares!

I suspect that you are just confusing yourself and making a trivial thing hard. If you have an EO, you can just
eo.getClass().getName()
And EOEntity has these methods:
String className()
Returns the name of the Enterprise Object class associated with the receiver.
String classNameWithoutPackage()
Return the name of the Enterprise Object class associated with the receiver without the package information.
