    I heard a beautiful chinese woman being called angel a few years back and I thought what a beautiful name but the other day a cork north side woman screamed com'on angel were leaving to her daughter and it just didn't have the same ring to it

    I heard Chantelle being roared in the same accent in Dunnes Blackpool. Beautiful name ruined.

    I've only recently decided to watch Downton Abbey for the first time. Am I right in saying the dog is called Isis? If so maybe it's an official name.

    I know a woman of that name. I'd actually like it if it wasn't for the terrorists. The parents were probably thinking of the Egyptian goddess.

    Some girl I knew in year 7 at school was called Lady Dinka by everyone, including the teachers.

    After Rocco and Kadesh were done on their prison visit yesterday, Lawson was up to see daddy. Told my missus and she said it'd be funny if he asks his why papa why he's in jail. "Cos I broke the law, son"

    Shamika Dunphy*

    surname has been changed to protect the innocent. The real surname is equally as Irish, though.

    I also know of siblings, Brooklyn and Beyoncé. Also with a very Irish surname.

    Parents are spelling Irish language name of newborn wrong (backwards fada, think Seàn, Siobhàn, Sinèad). It can't be some new style thing, it's just wrong! Looks ridiculous!

    Do I tell them or leave it be?

    It all depends, do they call it a fada or do they call it an accent, and how do they want to pronounce the letter? I haven't come across it yet.

    They know it's an Irish name, so it can only be a fada. The name is pronounced like it's a fada.

    Then tell them!

    I know a girl who liked the name Aaron but wanted to spell it differently. So she named her son Arán. On his birth cert, and all! She had/has another son with a name ending in -án and wanted to keep the theme...

    Actually... I'll add Arán to the list!

    Sounds like Laura right?

    I think it's Latin in origin, maybe Russian?
