As a Norwegian, I've always said Irish people are the salt of the earth - and these beautiful names just add to the feeling!

As an Austrian English learner I thought that English words have the most difficult spelling. But now I've just noticed that there's a language with a much more difficult spelling 😊 Thanks for the Teaching!

I’m currently attempting to learn Irish so these pronunciation videos are super helpful

Thanks for such a beautiful video! I love the name Geileis and Forbhlaith

Your video should be much more popular. I find it charming and informative, great for both presentation and content. Thank you.

You forgot Saoirse!!! I love that name.

I am returning to Irish classes tomorrow & you have helped me to get back into the pronunciation. You should see how I mispronounced "Derbhfhorgail" when I first saw it!

Thank you, I've been living in Ireland for a few months, and your videos help me a lot! You're the best

Love these videos!

Físeán iontach bean álainn😍♥️😍♥️😍 beannachtaí ó Mheicsiceo🇲🇽♥️🇮🇪^^

Great video! The only name I knew was Maeve! I adore that name!

So interesting ❣️

I’m Irish and my names Aoife

cool videos!! hardest name ever in ireland is Blaithnaid!! lololol much love from Galway!! if you ever wanna do a live stream or vlog lets do it!!

I'm pregnant and I'm really enjoying all your videos of Irish names. If you are making any future content re names would you be able to cover Ailbhe, Blinne and Saorlaith?

This was fun for me to see the word, try to figure out how it could be said and then COMPLETELY GET IT WAY WRONG EVERY TIME.

Go raibh mile maith agat; I've been trying, rather unsuccessfully, to learn Irish for a number of years, and every little thing helps.

You are amazing at pronunciation ❤ I named my biy Sébastien could you do a video on it please and thank you

As a Greek living in Ireland, I found all of those names sooo puzzling 🤭

I don’t know if you already did a video with this name, but I recently found the name Darthula on an Irish name list and I’ve been trying to figure out how to correctly pronounce it. 😅

Anglicising a native name ruins it. Ah well that's progress. For an Englishman I did well getting 50% correct. Way-hay!! A really good video as your explanations of the roots of names made it more interesting for me. Bye Big Tone in Derbyshire.

Irish names are super beautiful and I hope I can give my future kids an Irish name (I live in Korea btw) 😍🥰 I guessed many of them correctly!!

How is that Kee-lin??😅😅😅 its a beautiful name by the way

👍👍👍

My niece is named Maeve but I love meadhbh

I did better than I thought I would! I got about half of them straightaway, and about a fourth pretty close to correct. A few just left me 😵‍💫. Both my husband and I are of Irish descent. I was raised in the Irish Step Dance community, going to feisanna and ceilis. When we were having our babies, Irish or "Irish inspired" names were our go to choices. I campaigned hard for Maeve because I loved the idea of naming a daughter after such a strong woman, but my hubs wasn't a fan. He really liked Deirdre, but I didn't like the idea of naming our daughter after someone with such a horrible story (including her taking her own life). In the end we have a Mary (was this close to Maire!), a Fiona, and a Brigid. If they'd been boys they were to be Conor, Owen, or Declan.

My name is tratmanheirdoer pronounced silen. I go buy milk which I pronounce vlaklilvataak.

@wolfemomma I see Cora listed as a Greek name, but also Irish origins? Is Cora an Irish name?

Siobhan, Fiona and Clodah are popular in the US.

Thank You Wolfe Mamma...prounounced sheera danhier.

Why isn't Siusaidh pronounced Shoo-see with the slender s at the beginning (with or without the fada on u)?

I would call my daughters a irish name just to mess up with the brain of the teachers 😂 but joke aside love the irish names its gorgeous and since im from Québec those beautiful names are unfortunately never heard of here

What part of Irland are you from?

I scored an absolute 0 😂 Not once my pronunciation was right. Not even close !

My name is rionach

Eadhoan pronounced waltag.

Im the 137th great grandson of Ríoghnach, or atleast her husband, Níal. We share the same haplogroup. He was the first High King of Northern Ireland. I repeat, from the NORTH. Its probably why i have some red patches in my otherwise dark beard. Im a Czech German French Irish American Indian with Apache red black beard. Im Métis, je suis un pirate, c'est vrai. Un pirate du cúl. Im just kidding. Im more of a bottom anyways.

Do Irish people care if traditional Irish names are spelt phonetically e.g. Tige rather than Tadgh or Sive rather than Sadhbh? I am Australian with Irish ancestry and would love to use an Irish baby name but am not sure about using the proper Irish spelling when no one here would know how to pronounce it.

How can Laihbhaithwraithe be pronounced Mulveen??? Its as if chocolate means construction company and coffee means tractor trailer...chocolate...coffee means construction company...tractor trailer.

I will one day meet a girl with one of these names and ask her how it's pronounced.

HANDS IN SLEEVES. Too freaking cute.

These names are not "difficult" to pronounce if you use Irish pronunciation. The same applies to any language.

I can say with confidence I'm over E'adaoin.

If Líobhan were pronounced Lee-a-vawn rather than Lee-a-vun, there should be a fada over the a, and Líobhán would mean white beauty, not beauty of women.

Why did Irish people abandon the Irish language and adopt the English language?

From what I see Irish spelling is all guesswork it's pronounced totally different from what it's written it's ridiculous it's like you see a toilet bowl and think it's a stove or you see a refrigerator and think it's a hair blower. Don't get me wrong I love Ireland in fact my godmother was Irish Lol...I have Deep Respect For Ireland. It is that non sensical spelling. It is insane. Like spelling car as bhailaithwrait...but pronounced car...or harmanheirdoerdeer pronounced silleth. It is just ridiculous. Just make Chinese style characters for letters...take the guess work out of it.
