[Opinions] Re: Irish baby names (that aren’t too popular yet)
I couldn't even begin to tell you how Ceibhfhionn sounds, and that's the problem with most Irish names in the US. People don't know how to pronounce them when seeing them, and when hearing them, have no idea how to spell them. It's not that a Ceibhfhionn will be teased, it's that a Ceibhfhionn will be forever spelling her name, and it's not an easy or short one to spell. (I have no clue how to pronounce Aodh, either). So of course these days you can Google stuff like this and this is what I found:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm7uDC8y1K4
And then I also found a very old post from BtN:https://www.behindthename.com/bb/fact/745705And the answers don't jibe with the YouTube video.
Who's right? YouTube or the BtNers?
