Toirdhealbhach

It seems like it’s an older kind of name, probably not used often these days—I think Turlough or Tarlach are slightly more common? But probably still rare? I’m not sure—so the unfamiliar spelling isn’t surprising for an old name. Unfortunately traditional Gaeilge spellings are still unfamiliar to most, but I still do feel like people balk overmuch at non-anglicized names, IMO.

Regardless, this is an interesting historical name, I really like the meaning :D.

This, I tell you, would make teachers have migraines when taking attendance!

This is a name that would give teachers hell when calling roll.

This name is hilarious. Such an awesome example of how ridiculous Gaelic can get with all the unnecessary letters.

Yuck. This is the ugliest of all the unanglicized Irish names. This name is too long, very ugly, and will never be spelled correctly by the average person. It's quite pretentious and foreign-sounding.

Um. Good luck teaching your kid how to spell this frighteningly long and weird name.

Can you imagine a child trying to learn to spell that? It would be really hard for an adult to spell as well, never mind pronounce! But somehow I find the name enchanting. But I couldn't ever use it. Too much hard work!

It kind of looks like what you would get if your cat walked over your keyboard.

Although I would never use the name, I do love the spelling of it.

This name is frightening and if you like it, you're crazy! It is much too long.

Guess I'm crazy, then. Like no one knew that already. Too bad it's so hard to spell.

I think I would rather be named Investigator!
