HelpRe: Ceilidh - opinions and need some Irish name experts :P
in reply to a message by Lily
When I look on facebook people named Ceilidh and Ceili tend to be living in Scotland, Ireland, England, Canada or the US.
As I mentioned earlier many people who see my partners younger sister Ceilidh / Ceili are uncertain how to pronounce her name unless they hear her say it first. My name is Marisa and since there are two common ways of pronouncing it I'm often telling people how to say my name. And I don't find it annoying, most of the time I enjoy correcting them. Sometimes it is slightly annoying. But the only time you have people miss-pronounce it is the first day of class. After that you almost never are in a situation where you spell your name before you say it. The Ceilidh / Ceili I know loves her name and doesn't mind correcting people since it isn't a common thing that she needs to do. Mostly just on the first day of class when she has a new teacher.
