I was talking about the name Cáhir .Apart from the misplaced fada also It makes no sense as an Irish name with a fada and then a h . There is no stand alone h in the Irish language . It replaced a dot on letters to change the sound .You never see h is an Irish name without it following another consonant
Like bean to bhean etc

Cathir maybe or but not Cahir .

Aha, I get you now. That makes perfect sense.

Yes, it drives me mad when people take Irish names and just spell them in any way they want even though they totally change the sound and meaning.

Isis.

Truly Scrumptious. And this wasn't a foreign child. She had a surname like Kelly or Walsh. Poor child. Was from one of the counties bordering Dublin.

I have heard this name too, kind in the same location, I thought my friend was joking, I wonder if her parents updated her name since...

I saw it on a passport application about 18 years ago.

Heard it too, same location. I think the child was born about a year before ISIS kicked off so it was awful timing. I'm assuming the name has since been changed.

There was a kid in my school around 1980 who insisted in taking Lucifer as his Confirmation name. Teachers objected, but fair fücks to the kid, he argued that it was a valid Biblical name of an angel, and not in any way Satanic. The Bishop conferred him Lucifer.

Same idea with someone I know - he took the confo name Elmo.
The bishop had to have it confirmed that he was a saint (patron of Sailors), before continuing with the ceremony.

She is a six-year old child. This legal case is not her responsibility.

That’s brilliant, I’m regretting being a boring prick and choosing a run of the mill name for mine...

Elmo would have been miles better..

Knew a lad once who's name was Oriel, which he hated with a vengeance, (far too close to Ariel), and so, in the school yard he became Ariel, either the washing powder or the thing on your roof, so when he was in his 20s he changed his name to Nigel.

True story.
