Irish names are difficult to pronounce and spell for anyone who is not Irish because the pronunciations do not come intuitively from the spellings and vice versa. That's really why authentic Irish names that have not been Anglicized are rarely used outside Ireland. I've lived in the US for fifty-three of my fifty-four years and I've never seen one in use in the US. I did see one, Eimear, in Australia, but I think that girl may have been from Ireland originally.
