in reply to a message by Phyllis
I am still teaching myself remember. What were you thinking of? I am sort of a blend of christian and wiccan, the only reason is that my family celebrates christian holidays, even though i've never really realized that. I only go along with them because they are my family. I got a message from nanea, and a suggestion for my name was Alethia Dandilion Wheel. What do you think? Alethia translates into truth Dandilion in the laungage of the flowers is rustic oracle and wheel as in wheel of the year. you'll have to forgive my misspellings and improper typing well i gotta go bye

I thought I'd try two possibles on you, neither are translations of your first name, though. :(
1. Sidhe Fioinnuisce (translation: Spirit of Fresh Water)
2. Gualainn Ban [a-fada ("accent mark" on the a in Ban, which changes the "a" to a sound like in "far")] (translation: White Shoulder)
I got the first idea from kinda combining Dani and Nola and tinkering with it a bit. Dani and Nola "while dropping a couple of letters" combines to make Naiad, a Greek water nymph. The second is a translation of your middle name.
If you like either one, please let me know which one. :)

Say, Gaia, what would my Celtick name be?

It all depends on whether you consider your name to mean "small" (which woul make your Gaelic name Beag) or "humble" (which there are two or four words that your Gaelic name could be).
If you would be so kind as to tell me which of the English translations you consider your name to mean, then give me about two, maybe three weeks, I'll get your Gaelic name to you. Okay? :)

Yikes! I think neither :humble" nor "small" accurately describe me :P Maybe you could work on my other name, Spiro, which means "seed" or "to plant". Thanks in advance, Sidhe !
Pavlos a.k.a. PriaposLovs a.k.a. CheBanana a.k.a. Capt'in Lunastone etc etc

Your name, Spiro, would be either:
1. Cuir: (to plant; sow; bury; set; put; or send, pronounced kir [like in the champagne drink])
2. Siol (s, i-fada, o, l): (seed; offspring; or progeny, pronounced sheel)
3. Por (p, o-fada, r): (seed; breed; offspring; newly sprung seed, pronounced like pore)
Any of these strike your fancy? At least, any more than the others from your first name? :D

Thanks Gaia! Cuir is cool particularly given the champagne connection; however I fear that adopting it may provoke wordplay from Hid Diva. Siol is my favorite. I am also happy that anagramming the three results in "Spiro L Curio." Just have to figure out what L stands for once I replenish my psyguy batteries.

I think Gaia is supposed to be working on one for me, too. :)

I've narrowed the search down to two words (either caora or foisc [f, o-fada, i, s, c]), but which one it is, I have to ask my Gaelige professor. He's a difficult person to get between phone calls, classes and other things he does for the Irish community around here.
Is trua liom.

Hmmm... I think that "caora" is more pleasing to the eye than "foisc", at least when it comes to names...
As for your Gaelige professor's busy schedule, I pity him, too. :)

In case you'd like to know, Caora is pronounced Keeruh.
As for John Gleeson, he's sorta asked for it (he teaches Gaelic and Irish Studies classes, is a prominent member of the Irish community, sets up tours of Ireland, helps teach Irish during Mother's Day weekend and over the summer, etc. The last time he really took some time off was when he had his heart attack and sextuple bypass surgery. Some vacation, huh? :(
