PLEASE NOTE: The names in this video were picked because many of them are traditional, especially in Gaeltacht areas, for the past century or so, though not all of these names are in common usage today. In some cases, the pronunciation reflects the common pronunciation of the name in Ireland, though it may not be correct historically. If your Gaelic name was left out, that may be because it has only become popular very recently or simply because I forgot to include it. For many names, multiple correct pronunciations are possible.
