Re: WDYTO Irish names?
I agree. It's just my personal taste. I'm okay with things that don't make phonetic sense, so that's not my issue. I just don't like the sound of many Irish names. It's somewhat that they're so trendy and just all blur together. (By the way, when I was growing up, no one told me Irish was in. I used to find my semi-Irish roots diappointing, as I lived in Massachusetts where no one and I mean no one was without some speck of Irish blood. Apparently now I'm cool?) I just don't really understand the appeal. But meh. I tend to like very, sort of, er, heavy names (like ones with German roots or fusty-ish English ones), and most Irish names sound very airy to me. Just like there isn't much there, once you get past all the "bh"s and "dhg"s.I don't hate Irish names. They just aren't to my taste and I'm confused as to how they've remained trendy for so long.
