[quote=Anonymous]I am annoyed by the increased popularity of Irish names for 2 reasons. 1) DH is Irish, as in off the boat a few years ago. And we did want to use traditional Irish names for our kids, but it's become too trendy. FWIW, we went with a traditional Irish name for our 1st DD, but gave it an Aglican spelling so people wouldn't massacre it. 2) People are never going to pronounce traditional Irish names correctly. I know a young kid name Colm who really wants to change his name to Collin because that's what people call him. I mean I love the Aoife, if we were still living in Ireland. But who the frick in the US is going to pronounce that correctly? Love, love, love Nora. I wanted that for a 2nd child but DH said no. Now I cannot suggest for our 3rd because we already have 2 N names (not on purpose) and I refuse to use a 3rd N.[/quote]
