Anything in Irish. Even if your child emigrates he will still be reminded of his depressing roots.

That's really unfair, many Irish names are lovely, however, my personal gripe is with those impenetrable ones that are impossible to spell & equally impossible to pronounce!

Met a Mum in the park recently and her daughters name was 'Ava', how lovely I thought, "a bit like the Hollywood actress Ava Gardner I said", a'hemm she said, actually I'm her granny and my daughter named her the Irish way, Its spelt Aoidbhe, although some people leave out the d I think? or maybe its the b? and there's a fadda over the e although most people don't use it, I think she herself might spell it Ava when she grows up she said, as she smiled ) I nodded and we carried on chatting . . . . . .

That's the kind of Irish name that wrecks my head, from filling in forms to passports, to people looking at the name and thinking, what the' is that?
