HelpRe: Baffles and slightly angers you...
in reply to a message by Eliora
For very basic reasons, as I stated, and not ones I am going to spend a lot of energy defending as they don't merit it.

Have you ever considered the slight possibility that maybe you just dislike trends, naming fads, etc. rather than the Irish names itself? Coming from Ireland myself, I grow up with names like Cian, Seamus, Caoimhe - how is it pretentious for Americans/Australians and anyone else with Irish heritage to honour their ancestry?
You could make the same argument for people who give their kids Russian or Dutch names, which are just as arguably hard to pronounce correctly.
Why is it that people hate things they don't understand anyway? So you don't speak Gaelic Irish - that's a reason for you to hate the names?
