[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not this again. The answer is no, don’t give your child an Irish name. Since you don’t live in Ireland and you are just an American who has some Irish ancestry, it makes absolutely no sense. As someone who actually grew up in Ireland, it truly baffles me why Americans do this![/quote] America is a blend of all cultures. Would you tell someone of Italian ancestry that they can’t name their kid Giovanni, for example? Any easily pronounced Irish name is common in the US. The only issue is how difficult it would be for others to pronounce Saorsie.[/quote] I get the concern about spelling, but I don't get why Irish, and only Irish, names require some sort of proof of recent connection. Why do I have to prove I'm Irish to use Sean, when no one screams about how I need to prove I'm English to use Henry? [/quote] The Irish are clannish.[/quote]
