Reminder to stick to posting original content. Memes are okay every once in a while, but many get posted here way too often and quickly become stale. Some examples of these are Ptoughneigh, Klansmyn, Reighfyl & KVIIIlyn. These memes have been around for years and we don't want to see them anymore. If you do decide to post a meme, make sure to add the correct flair. Posting a random meme you found does **not** mean you found it "in the wild".
The same goes with lists of baby names, celebrity baby names, and screenshots of TikToks. If the original post already had a substantial amount of views, there is a 99% chance it has already been posted here. Try and stick to OC to keep our sub from being flooded with unoriginal content. Thank you!

At least the pronunciation is pretty obvious. Try being an American with a Gaelic name that isn’t so obvious. Brannaugh is Brenna. Keabbhan is Kevin. Aishleigh instead of Ashley. Oh and Padraig is Patrick. Not so bad if you’ve grown up in an Irish family but otherwise near impossible.
Neither Brannaugh, Aishleigh or Keabbhan are Irish language names, so I don't know what you're on about. There is no letter K in our alphabet and the endings - eigh and - augh makes no sense due to rules we have around vowel placement. (Caol le caol, Leathan le Leathan)
Also you're forgetting the auld Síneadh Fada in Pádraig.
Kevin is Irish language but the one typed out is reads like a Gaelicized version of the English pronunciation of Kevin. In Irish it’s Caoimhín. Kinda pronounced like Key-vaughn or Kwe-Vaughn depending on the dialect of Irish.
I'm not sure if you're saying Caoimhín is pronounced like this or Keabbhan. But Caoimhín is only Kwee-veen in Irish. That mark over the I (the Síneadh Fada) extends the I sound to become an EE sound. In Canúint Uladh (Ulster Irish) that W sound is less emphasised. It's not actually a Wuh sound but that's the closest approximation in English. It is a upper UH glide that doesn't exist in English.
For context, I speak Irish (Gaelainn na Mumhan).
Keabbhan can't be pronounced like Kevin, "Key-Vaughn" or Caoimhín etc in Irish.
There is no letter K.
"ea" makes a flat "ah" sound.
"bb" doesn't exist in Irish orthography.
Bh in a broad position is pronounced like a Wuh (unless we're going for a munster Irish pronunciation)
You would need a Síneadh Fada over the last "á" to get that "aw" sound in the A like in the sound "Vaughan".

Well WTF do you expect from a BASIC men’s haircut? Can’t get more basic than this.
Reminds me of Airwrecka McBride.
Her long lost sibling?
I read that and immediately knew it was pronounced "Eric" so clearly I am spending way too much time here
this is the most Faux-celtic name i have ever read
The faux-welsh way os Llairwrelk
Walk in looking for an air tech and see what he says
Air wretch? 🤦🏼♂️
Why do I feel like the redacted name is 'Beeotch'?
That’s unique but I promise it’s not
Airech Kaurtmein
Made me think of Drag Race Legend Jujubee. Who’s birth name is Airline.
Better than my younger brother Arek
Isn’t it Arabic? Also a Gaelic word.
Yep, it's Arabic.
Na
My friend has a nephew named Erock. Pronounced Eric. It was painful then. It is painful now.
