But Kora/ Cora comes directly form the ancient Greek for girl, and people still use that.I know it's fashionable at the minute to understand a bit of Gaelic, and to let everyone know that you do (not you personally, just people in general), but it's also quite annoying to know that in any post where someone mentions the name Colleen, there's going to be at least one response saying 'but Colleen only means 'girl' to me, it's Gaelic for 'girl,' etc etc...'I don't mean to get at you personally, it just seems like that's a very common response to the name Colleen at the minute.

Yeah, but Kora / Cora comes from an ancient language, whereas cáilín (pronounced exactly like Colleen) is from a modern language. I dislike it because I use that language a lot.I see what you mean about the "Gaelic" fashion though. :)Image hosted by Photobucket.com
