Irish accents and names you like.

There are a lot of thread about Irish names people dislike or Irish accents people cant stand, so for a bit of something positive.. Irish name and accents you like.

Names Dualta and Faolan.

Accents Belfast and some Dublin accents.This is good example he is hamming it up a bit in this but in real life Stanley Townsend does have a very pleasant Dublin accent. Sounds a bit like my current boss.

No better accent that that of Derry people. Could listen to them all day!

I like the more traditional Irish names like Mícheál, Tomás, Áine or Máire. I find the more modern, abstract ones to be a bit meh. Each to their own.

Any time someone gives a child one of those names that means it's followed by a "it was an old Irish word for strength" or something, I'm rolling my eyes.

I like the simple ones, Brian, Niall, Ronan, Brendan, Kevin etc. And the Kerry accent.

I love the name Siobheal (Irish for Isabel) and the Kerry accent.

Those names...Worst Kids' names thread>>

Anything North of the N7 and East of the M50 is aural assault.

Most pleasant accent in the country is the one South of Lavits Quay, East of Ballyvourney

Origin of the name Conor:

Anglicized form of the Irish Gaelic Conchobhar, a compound name composed of the elements conn (wisdom, counsel, strength) or con (hound, dog) and cobhair (aid). “High, will, desire” and “hound lover” are other definitions attributed to the name. Var: Conner.

Will say nothing about the "hound lover" bit.......

Recently came across a young fella called Fuinn, short for fuinneamh the Irish for energy. As expected mother appeared to be an absolute thunderous c*nt.

Like, that poor kid will have to spend the rest of his life answering the raised eyebrow "huh, wtf" look with a "it's short for fuinneamh etc. etc.".

Some nice Irish names imo are the more old school ones ; Sean, colm, orlaith, Aoife, Daire etc
Wouldn't be a fan of the new makey-uppy types

Also not a fan of the Midlands accent, like what was in that "Pure Mule" show.. horrible stuff

Irish names I like include Siobhan, Tara, Patrick, Mylo, Cillian, Dermot, Enda, Maeve, Aidan, Darragh & Liam, and my favourite Irish accent would have to be from Carlow.

You haven't heard a mother shrieking "c'mere eeeeeerla" in a playground. It'd put you right off!
