Re: Fintan and other Irish names
Oh! This is rather hard! I love love love Gaelic spellings of Irish and Scottish names! But the hard part is that people in the USA tend to pronounce things how they look. But I live in the USA and I'm planning on using the Gaelic spelling Ciaran instead of Kieran because I just love the C spelling so much! :)Fintan or Fionntan - I think Fintan is nice and nicce.
Eamonn - is okay
Brodie - would go over fine or Brody
Aodhan (pron. Aidan) - this would be too hard to pronounce of I'd use this spelling instead of Aidan as my 2nd favorite boys name! I like this spelling because it looks so masculine! :)
Tadhg or Teague - Tadhg would be too hard to pronounce for most people in the USA but Teague would be better.
Lachlan (Lochlann) - Lachlan would work perfectly well in the USA but I don't think Lochlann would do that well!I really love Gaelic spellings and if I could I'd use Caitriona, Aoife, Beitris, Aodhan and many more! :)Image hosted by Photobucket.comBunny, Gigi, Chloris, Wilma, Darleen, Eartha
