    My name is Deirdre which is very difficult for Americans to pronounce. I've been called everything from "Dee-dra" to Desiree to Jennifer. My favourite pronunciation was "Der-ee-der-ee"!🤣

    I'm an American of Irish decent and my name derives from Aisling. I have always loved it. It's frustrating so many people mispronounce it but I still love it. Love your videos!

    Thank you so much for the channel! I'm really interested in Irish culture, history, stories, language ect. Will be so happy to see it if you cover anything more about any of them! I'm currently most curious about the pronounciation rules of Irish cuz it seems to be so changable and it's aboviously not sound as it's spelled as the English rules go😂😂Btw I quite like the way you say County Down😉😉

    My daughter Éilish was delighted to see her name, and my daughter Kate, but I have an Aoife too and we thought for sure she'd be in there!
    I love your videos and can't wait for the folklore one 😊

      This Fionnuala hopes your baby arrived safely and was named Fionnuala too. There’s far too few of us around and it is a lovely name with a great history.

    Thank you!!! Éilis never comes up in these Irish name videos and when it does it gets mixed up and mashed into Eilís (Eye-leesh) and it's infuriating, especially when Eilís is the more popular of the two in the southwest. Wondering if you can confirm my own understanding, knowledge and experience on these two very similar but different names;
    Éilis (Ay-lish) is the Irish translation of 'Alice' (anglicised spelling is 'Ailish')
    Eilís (Eye-leesh) is the Irish translation of 'Elizabeth' (anglicised spelling is 'Eilish')
    Honestly just grew up thinking these two names existed and the Éilís' and Eilis' of the world were just these two names that got mixed up along the way! haha!
    You even got my sister right, Eibhlín!

    Dierdre was the name of my dog when I rescued her from the shelter as a puppy, and I told her that she was far from a Deirdre, so she got re-christened to Daisy❤️ she might be reverting to being a sorrowful Deirdre now at 13.... or maybe she’s just a grumpy old lady 😂
