I’m not Irish but I’m Polynesian - and I honestly love the Gaelic spelling to these names. Rather than the anglicised names. It’s like preserving the culture when you go by sticking with the true Irish spelling I think. I taught a Niamh in my class, and not only did we learn her name, but we learnt other Irish names because we wanted to. Then later on, we had an Aoife, Siobhan and Caoimhe. Their parents were shocked and so happy that we got their names right on their first day of school. Telling us that even though it’s something so small, like getting their kids names right, they felt welcomed it really warmed their hearts (Saying hi from Sydney, Australia) 💚💫

I am not Irish, but I heard Irish was a dying language. As soon as I Googled that, found out it was true, I started a course a Duolingo (Irish) and subscribed.

I love how I’m discovering that many names in English actually derive from Irish names or are anglosized versions of them. And how ignorant I was about the meanings ❤ so beautiful

My name is Liberty and I don’t really like it but I absolutely LOVE that it translates to Saoirse because its such a beautiful name. Liberty doesn’t usually translate as a name in other languages (with a few exceptions, of course!) so that makes me love the Irish one even more.

After watching Song of the Sea, I fell in love with the name Saoirse. So much so in fact that my pup has that name. It's always fun spelling it or pronounce it for people.

Not only is there a STRONG LIKELIHOOD 💪 that I might mispronounced or have mispronounced some of these listed Irish names, but more than that I'd say, I never knew the names listed on this list of Irish names even existed!

As a french living in Ireland this video is veryyyy helping, I always have a hard time when people tell me their name and I have to write this down, it is terrible, but now thanks to you it'll be a lot easier. Also with name I sometime stumble on some weird things like I am moving to a place which is written on the papers and maps as: "Gortboy" "gortby" or "gortbui", and I was very puzzeled about it, then an Irish friend told me it is from the Irish for "gort". field and "buí". yellow, so yellow field. Now I can remember it, like it (a lot) and write/ pronounce it correctly. \(^-^)/

I'm an American but all my grandparents were born in Ireland. My middle name is tadhg. It's very useful as a conversation starter to have people look at my name on my ID and have them try to pronounce it.

it's difficult when there is such a big difference between writing and pronunciation, even in names, but it sounds so beautiful. just want the Irish to be alive. Love Ireland <3
