Linda

[angelfish58]

My user name comes from a big bruise I had on my bottom in the shape of an angelfish and I added the 58 as there was already an AngelFish on site.

(I fell down stairs if anyone was wondering  )

[Seoras]

Mine is simply one of the Scottish Gaelic forms of my name,but since I started researching by the amount of Irish I have found (at one time totally unknown to me) it could just as easily be Seoirse.

[Winterbloom21]

I wondered that when I saw your name.    My youngest grandson is Seoirse.    (Thanks to me!   His Dad's mother in law wasn't too impressed at the time!)

[Just Kia]

it could just as easily be Seoirse.

Seóirse would be said like Shor-shuh I think, but how is Seoras said?

[Winterbloom21]

Only the man himself can say for sure, but my guess would be Shur uss.

[meles]

meles (always lower case) is the scientific/Latin name for a badger (well Meles meles, to be precise). And my real name is related to a badger (look at my surname interests!)

Mum collects badgers - porcelain ones, pottery ones, glass ones, furry ones, big ones, small ones... 

meles

[Seoras]

Only the man himself can say for sure, but my guess would be Shur uss.

Hi Winterbloom,Shor-uss with emphasis on the o is how I have been taught.I do love the Irish version though.

[eadaoin]

Eadaoin - I always think this in my head as sounding much like Edwin is that anywhere near close or am I way off the mark?

not too bad! ...  Aye-dheen ... is a good approximation.

Eadaoin was a fairy princess who was reborn as human, married ...
then her fairy lover Midir came and turned both of them into swans, and they flew back to fairyland.

(Irish fairies are not little fluttery things, but big powerful magical creatures - think Tolkien type stuff)
