If you have this name and you live in Ireland, don’t move to England.

It could be because I am studying Irish but I have never read this as cat-hair. If anything I have only read it as cath-air. But it's pronounced ka-hir. If you're worried about people mispronouncing, you could use Cahir, which is the same name. Anyways, I really like this name and I think it's really nice. However Cathair means city in Irish so the fact that this doesn't mean city surprised me.

Don’t name your kid this. It’s just “cat hair”!

It's an awesome name, but I fear it'd be mispronounced commonly if I was to ever use it in my home country of the USA. Still, in Ireland at least it's a lovely sounding name with a strong meaning.

Reminds me of cat hair.
Buahahahah. High teasing potential, so think twice before naming your child this. You don't want him to get called "cat hair" and such.

Bah ha ha ha! If you are named this you can never live or work outside of Ireland. Unless you change your name or the spelling of your name.

As well as being a name, Cathair is the Irish word for "city".

It looks like it has a real cool sound, but I think that it is a definite problem that it it spelled "cat-hair".

This name bears an interesting resemblence to the Gaelic word for "chair".

Love the sound, but the fact that it is spelled like cat hair could be a problem.

This is an Irish name and the "fada" which is the accent over the second "a" is an important part of this name that should not be missed. It's a part of Irish grammar.
Cathair = city
Catháir = Man of Battle (from "Cath" meaning "Battle" and "Fír" meaning "Man").
I do get the "cat hair" comments in my life, but that in itself is not as frustrating as people who forget the fada. I can take jokes, but if you're going to use a name from a different language, try and respect the language and use it correctly. It is not "Cathair", it is "Catháir".
