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.

OP had to be trollin....
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

Yamanoto

Fuinneog's from Foxrock but goes to the Gaelscoil.

Awesome accent / ainm combo.

My own name, 'Taidgh' is great. Wasn't so much when I first started going out with my o/h from Belfast and I was intorducing myself to her mates :pac:

LordSutch

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.

Also like Cillian Daire and Ronan


Sounds like three brothers!

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

Mylo O'Sea.

Certainly sounds Irish.

Presumably it is Irish with an I instead of the y.

No. Mylo and Milo are the same.

Thought it was Latin or Greek, turns out it's German.

Lads no letters are creeping anywhere.

Here is the alphabet:

abcdefghilmnoprstu

Granted, the h is relatively new as it replaced the dots over consonants in the old script that indicated lenition.

You will see other letters in Irish language texts that used foreign words but they are not Irish letters, much like you would see Ü, Þ, or Æ in an English text despite not being actual letters in the English alphabet.

I always though the name Siobheal was the Irish for Joyce and that it was pronounced Shiv bale as bh takes the v sound in Irish?

Best accents are a nice Tipperary accent, I find it very soothing, a Wexford accent or a Donegal accent.

Names like Rory and Barry are Irish even tho they have a Y. They are anglicised versions of Irish names.

Prefer the Irish names that people can pronounce outside of Ireland like Brian, Tara, Kevin etc

kingchess

the Irish version of my first name is conchubhair-which is pronounced like cru hure,very confusing.

Is it not the other way around...cro hure?

Bambi985

Love the Irish accents that are flat as foook, usually midlands or Galway - love the Galway accent though I would be biased. Don't have a strong one myself from years of living abroad but anyone that sounds like my Dad is music to my ears.

Also love those old-school relatively neutral but distinct Dublin accents that you'll see on older folks from south parts of the city, usually heard on college professors and the like.

Dramatik

I like the northy accent, I think it's hot! simmer dow-win dere nigh dramatik

erica74

I love all traditional Irish names, Muireann, Iarlaith, Tadhg, Éabha, Doireann, Sadhbh, Ruaidhrí.
I love the Cork accent, I love the Wexford accent, love all the Northern Irish accents - I love the colloquialisms mixed in with the different accents all over Ireland.

P wasn't originally in old Irish. Patricius was written as Cothrige (or something like that) at first, bevause 'c' was seen as being the closest approximation to 'p'. The p came in later in the old Irish period and it became Pátraic.

Patrick is not an Irish name despite most thinking it is.

Ruairí agus Barra though. Not sure what the Irish of Mylo would be.

Like the name Tara myself. Although with two exes being called Tara it can go f*ck itself as a name :pac:
