[quote=Anonymous]I have a similar, vegetabke soup spelled Celtic name. I'm second generation in the US of my family. I'll be honest, when I was a kid, it was kind of humiliating. Most teachers couldn't pronounce it and, at roll call, they'd get either a deer in highlights look or an irritated look when my name came up. Americans are generally not that smart and I grew up answering a lot of questions about my name, like "what kind of name is that!" and "are you foreign!?" etc. Once I was in college, my name became a strength for me. It was unusual, sounds cool and served as a conversation starter. My name is my identity by now and I've both loved and hated it. If I had to choose, I probably would have picked and easier to pronounce, less ethnic Irish name for myself.[/quote]
