HelpI love them
in reply to a message by ash
But then again, I understand them.
I am Irish and it is likely that at least one if not more of my kids will have a traditionally spelt Irish first name and all of them will at the very least have a mn (for eg Susannah Claire Aoibheann or Ruby Annette Ceibhfhionn). I love the meanings and the history of the names and that is lost if they are spelt any other way. I understand how it could be frustrating to some people but I think more Irish names are making it into the mainstream, at least here in Australia.
A lot of people here are starting to recognise Niamh, the vast majority can say Siobhan with no problem, there was a girl in my high school called Caoimhe and people learnt that pretty quickly and my little sister Eimear doesn't have too many problems (she is only in preschool but people learn quickly).
