[@seamus6387]

As someone who's trying to learn Irish I'll just say, the vowels seem easy next to the mutating spelling. I swear, this language was made into a written language under protest. It's like, "let's give english speakers headaches."

[@chrisk5651]

Agree. Also I love your name who’s 1st part is non- phonetic

[@lysanamcmillan7972]

The "formal" reason is that the people who first made it a written language were only literate in church Latin, so they used those sounds as a starting point in their minds. Also, Irish lost a helpful bit of punctuation along the way in a mistaken attempt to standardize it to be "easier." Lenitions, which are the big source of the spelling drift, used to be marked with a dot over the lenited letter. You knew as someone who could read Irish that you changed its pronunciation when you got there because the declension of the word mandated it. Now, it's an H or BH or VH and somewhere the spectres of the Druids laugh. They wanted their last revenge on the Christ-bearers and Sassenach. ;)

[@resourcedragon]

If anything, Scottish Gaelic spelling is _even worse!_ There seem to be even more silent letters per word. (Handy tip for telling them apart: the fada. Irish uses the accent that looks like a little / over the letter, Scottish Gaelic uses an accent that looks like a little \ over the letter.)

Thanks for the video! This is great! You have solved a mystery for me, thank you. I didn't understand how Peg came from Margaret! Also, my name is Vivian; the kids I helped out at school called me, 'Ms. Biv'. I guess they were practicing their Irish.

[@billofalltrades2633]

Very interesting! My name becomes Liam! I can see how that was made into William . Nice very informative, thank you for sharing that.

James becomes Seamus, My son's name.

[@Jimbodisfan]

James - Seamus.

[@JamesJohnson-ez7jr]

Funny how everybody knows that already :)

[@Jml416]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! My middle name is Micheal, yes spelled MichEAL. My dad is the only other human in the US that spells it that way. We are of Irish decent. In your spelling you spelled the Irish version the same as me. So thanks for making me feel not so weird!

My grandmothers maiden name was Coulahan. I traced it back to Fahy, Galway. Where I found it to have been Mac Coulahan. Then traced that back to the name change forced by the English from Mac Uallachain. I haven't gotten past this point. Other than there being some sort of tie to the Hy-Many (Ui Maine). From the book, 'The Tribes and Customs of the Hy-Many Commonly Called O'Kelly's Country'.

Only a guess, but would Scott just be Scott since the name comes from a Celtic language anyway?

Albanach

[@quanahhurtt1833]

My name is a Comanche name. (Native American) I was named for Quanah Parker. Of which Parker is one of my great great grandmother's maiden name. Don't know if I am actually related.

[@bigu1223]

Quanah Parker was a great chief and his white mother was captured by the Comanche as a small child.

[@dvdbluraydude3038]

I’d never heard of Quanah Parker until I read the book Empire of The Summer Moon.

Mine all together would be Criostoir Alastar Soilsigh (pronounced soul-sight?). Soilsight came up as the Irish translation for Light and just went down the list, while my surname Christopher means the bearer of Christ, I liked the concept of shining light for my last name. Very interesting, I got lucky with my first and middle names being covered by the video, thanks for sharing your culture with us!

Names are cool. Great video!

I got this info from my Scottish Geat grand ma but Sean is Irish for John. Do you agree?

[@kieranwalker3953]

Technically it’s Seán, Sean without the accent means old the difference is an “a” vs. an “aw”, but yes

[@chadfalardeau5396]

John is one of the few names that exits almost all languages

[@seandunn176]

@@kieranwalker3953 Accent over the "e" - pronounced "Shawn," over the "a" - pronounced "Shane"

Be careful not to do one f these for a bit otherwise ED will have a conniption fit and do another rant video. We all know how we feel about that 👩🏼‍💻😇

Very interesting topic today!! :-)

Most people who watch this video: People who heard their name: SHE SAID MY NAME! IT SOUNDS SO COOL IN IRISH! (this is me)

Not if your name is John.

My favorite video from you. I'm hitting subscribe

[@saphira6148]

Your mug made me laugh! As if you already knew how much of a PITA it would be to finish this video.. (Also, I'm thinking my name, Dana, translates to Danu?)
