ArchivesRe: Anglicizations of Irish names
in reply to a message by clevelandkentevans
No, I understood what she was saying, it was just a bad example on my part. Here are some better examples:
http://forvo.com/word/c%C3%A1itl%C3%ADn/#ga is the pronunciation of CAITLÍN and CÁITLÍN. The anglicization is Caitlin, but sounds nothing like those examples, which if spelled according to phonetics would look more like Cotchlin or Catchleen.
http://forvo.com/search/Cearbhall%20%c3%93%20D%c3%a1laigh/ is the pronunciation of CEARBHALL. The Anglicization is Carroll or Carrol, but sounds nothing like that examples, which if spelled according to phonetics would look more like Carrool or Carool.
These are just a couple of examples from each gender of name. There are more in the listings here.
