[Facts] Re: Irish Name Forms!!
well I think Domhnall's explained it well enough .. and I'll just add cents by saying "Thanks for saving me all the typing!" lol .. I wouldn't have known how to pronounce Rois though .. I would have said Roshe.Hey Domhnall .. do you live in Ireland? Speak Irish Gaelic?

No, I'm an American northeasterner.
I can't really speak Irish with any fluency. I have an ok vocabulary but many of the grammer rules still throw me for a loop. I was tought pronunciation by a Donegal speaker, and I know I could use a refresher course.
With regards to Irish names, a little interest in the subject kind of grew into an etymological hobby.
