[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm Indian. Here's what is going to happen: One, pick an easy to pronounce Irish name (Mary, Bridget, Fiona, etc.). Everyone can pronounce it, kid doesn't have to correct anyone, happy happy, but you may regret it. Kid may meet a friend named "Aiofe" and be all "why didn't you give me a super cool and unique name???" and grow up to give herself a fake Irish name (witness my Indian friend Julie who now goes by Radhika). Two, pick a Gaelic name no one knows how to pronounce. Everyone will slaughter it on the first try. DD's friends and teachers will pick it up after she corrects them. She may hate you for giving her a pain in the ass name and start spelling it phonetically or come up with an English nickname (witness my Indian friend Amrita who goes by Amy) or she will love it and beg you to do her junior year of high school as an exchange student in Ireland.
