    I've met an Irish guy called Erc. Pronounced Urk.

    Its actually some ancient saint from Meath, but Jesus, why would you name your child after a noise a fella makes when he's getting tackled in a match.

    Maybe because the only person I know with that name is a total tool.

    I always wanted to know when 2 double barrelled surnamed people married what happens, complete fook up of people's lives, should be banned, one surname or fook off out of the country.

    Amazing coincidence, I was in a pharmacy yesterday and heard someone announce themselves as Mary Pritchard-Murphy-Brennan, paraphrasing there, in case she's on here. Could be that Aonghus person in real life.

    Now its possible that the second name was a second firstname if you get me.

    Anyway, back on topic

    Aonghus

    No one name in particular but there seems to be an explosion of certain girls names being horrendously over used the last few years. If you Google say the top twenty names, it's all Ava, Olivia, Isabella, Sophia, Fiadh etc. With the exception of Fiadh, I think they are all really nice names in fact, but I wouldn't use one because I don't want my daughter to be in a class with six other girls the same name. I don't understand why parents pick them to be honest.

    I thought Hank was a shortened name for Henry.

    The same way that chuck is a replacement for charles

    Just **** off.

    People "Gaelicising" their surname is bad enough. We never had a written Roman alphabet before the Brits arrived- you have no idea whether your ancestors were referred to as O'Raghalloidh or O'Reilly, it probably depended on where in the country they lived how the name was pronounced.

    The most ludicrous however is people with surnames of blatantly British origin making up a Gaelic version of it. Gerry Adams or Gearoid Mac Adhaimh as he calls himself comes to mind. Imagine in 100 years a 50 year old whose grandparents came here from Poland in the mid 2000's named Pawel Lewandowski going around calling himself Pol O'Loudonchoi. It's equally as daft.
