Help[Opinions] Re: Naoise
in reply to a message by JemimahGertrude
It only works in Ireland or places with a lot of people who know the Irish language well. I sure wouldn't have guessed how to say it without looking it up if you hadn't told us.
It just looks like mistyped "noise" to me. The Neesha pronunciation doesn't even make me think "Irish." It's so similar to names that were popular for black girls in the seventies and eighties like Keisha and Tanisha and Felicia. Neesha is an attractive sound, I guess, but all the messy middle steps involved just don't work.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
