[Opinions] Re: Irish heritage names
in reply to a message by maire
Prn. FAH-lon could be more easily achieved with Fallon. I know that there are many Irish Gaelic names that I don't know how to prn. and I assume some others are as clueless as me in my region. My family of Scotch-Irish descent has been in Texas for 155 years so things have gotten lost in the translation. So whatever you think may work best for your child. I feel that you should choose a spelling that suits your needs. My mother wanted to spell our names as they sounded, and with few unneccessary letters as she saw it... Britney and Megan. Different strokes for different folks. That's what my grandmother says. She also says, "It takes all kinds." ** Sorry so long winded!
