Re: Niamh on an American
in reply to a message by Olwen
I know one and while her parents are of Irish descent and she has an Irish surname, she is herself adopted and is from China. Anyway, I find that mildly cringy--you couldn't have picked something like Molly that's still Irish-y but not so incredibly unusual on an Asian girl? Personally I don't think anyone who isn't Irish-American, and maybe nobody who isn't fresh-off-the-boat, should use original spelling Irish names in the US. Unless it's Sean.
