      ​@@AllezVous222This is a sad perspective to hear. I am a Jewish-American and my family has lived in the United States for around 120 years. We are still Jewish and still follow Jewish cultural traditions despite being heavily heavily assimilated into American culture and having lived in many different places over the millennia.
      So why can't Irish people continue to identify as Irish and continue to pass down their Irish culture just because they moved to another part of the world? You don't think they're claiming modern Irish nationality, do you? Because that's how people react to Americans saying they are Irish. I thought it was a given they are not talking about modern nationality. Ireland wasn't even a country when most of those people came to the United States.
      I don't understand why Irish people dislike their diaspora so much.

      Spent a little time in Ireland many years ago for work- mostly Dundalk and Dublin. I had a blast. Loved Ireland. People friendly and down to Earth. I was there during the World cup playoff. I was in the pub at the Hotel Imperial with my pint of Guiness and a whole horde of Irish people watching the Ireland-Holland game. (Really glad it wasn't an Ireland U.S. game). After I ran into some girls from the plant and we all wound up partying at a pub down the street. Wonderful time. Did the tourist thing in Dublin, had a pint in the Bailey. Saw Trinity college. I absolutely loved Ireland.

      I went to Ireland back in the 90's and while waiting for the bus to leave the driver and I started talking and I told him I lived in Oregon. He asked me if I lived in one of those "free love communes". Of Course! Everyone in Oregon does! I also ended up befriending a local in Dublin and I spent the night at his house the night before my plane back home. His mother and I ended up getting drunk and listening to Johnny Cash records. I'm from Tennessee (home to Nashville/country music mecca) and once babysat for Johnny and June. His mom was so excited she called her fried over to meet me. We all sang along to Johnny Cash half the night and I can tell you it was a very uncomfortable plane ride home. What a great experience though!

A lot of Americans go into long weird diatribes tracing their ancestry back through all of these relatives. I think it is because of stuff like DNA testing. I heard it happen multiple times and it’s weird.
      Don’t get me wrong Americans need to connect with their heritage, be in awe of where you come from but it can sound like we think we are the prodigal son coming home when we talk over there. Most of us know next to nothing about Ireland or other countries we take heritage from in the modern day and treat such places like very quaint very large theme parks of “self discovery”. Meanwhile the people who live there day to day have to deal with the reality of the place and Ireland has been especially romanticized.

    Hi! Irish person living in Ireland here 👋 I've been loving Americans using our baby names because their great-great-great-great granduncle's niece's brother-in-law's cousin's cat was a stowaway on a coffinship sailing to Boston from Galway back during the Great Famine, so if you've been looking for some new baby names for your dearly beloved zygote, look no further!
    1. Sliotar and Camán.
    If you have two badass, powerful warriors of twin baby boys, Sliotar and Camán (Meaning Brave and Strong Willed) are two perfect names! Two infamous warriors who fought alongside Cú Chulainn and Fionn mac Cumhaill, two of Ireland's greatest Irish warriors, these names are perfect for your lil fighters!
    2. Fuinneog.
    Meaning elegance and beauty, this sophisticated baby name is perfect for your little girl who has the window to your soul.
    3. Póg Mo Thóin.
    I mean really, what screams 'I'm an Irish-American!' more than the name Póg Mo Thóin Smith? It's a long name, but the meaning behind it is fascinating. It stems from one of the first Gaelic women to ever live, who lived in Tír na nÓg, the Land of the Young (or eternal youth). Póg was one of the most beautiful women to live, and got her title, Mo Thóin for being levelheaded and fair to the people of her land. Today, the name Póg Mo Thóin is symbolic to all Irish people, so if you ever visit Ireland and get in a fight with a drunk Irish person, be sure to say the name to diffuse all animosity. It has a 100% success rate (said by a person who has said Póg Mo Thóin more times in her life than she can count) and you might even get a free pint of Guinness while you're at it!
    4. Leithreas.
    Meaning love of my life, and also being gender neutral, this is the perfect name if you're a boy mom!!
    Sin é! Go raibh míle maith agaibh a chairde.

    Could also be titles "What not to do if you are an American visiting Ireland". I'm so Irish I still qualify for citizenship, three of four grandparents born in Ireland. My ancestors left for a reason, Ireland was poor, too many children being born, life was desperate. I remember my grandmother saying "What did Ireland ever do for me? Nothing...." She only went back once, to visit a sister outside Dublin, when she returned she said "Never, ever again will I set foot in that hellhole..."
