| - my name is a hero/warrior from Irish legends (Diarmuid & Cú Chulainn being the most famous)..that may be appropriate than a made up name.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_folklore | |

| - Your name sounds great! Although, in French (wich is the main language that we speak here) it would be very hard to pronounce... Your parents had a great idea and it must be sort of \"empowering\" to be called as such? THANK YOU very much for your reply! | |

| - Je peux vous proposer le nom de mon frère qui s\'appelle: Lorcán [lo,Re-\'cawN]. Le nom signifie \"petit guerrier\". Ou peut-être vous pouvez lui donner le nom de la plus connu guerrier d\'Irlande: Setanta [ç-\'taNe-ta]. Veuillez me direr ce-dont vous pensez. :-) | |

| - [quote][i]Originally posted by Anya[/i] Dia dhuit a Diarmuid! Conas tá tú mo chara? Conas sé Alanna agus Viviana? Bheith as láthair?? Fáil ar ais! Cad é mar atá tú a Diarmuid!? Cá bhfuil tú? Ba mhaith liom cainte leatsa mar tá beagán Gaelige agam :( Is maith sin scríobh (written)? :) Tá sé go dona :( [/quote] Níl sé go dona ar chor ar bith! :-) Tá cúpla botún ann (dar nóigh) ach is léir dom go bhfuil Gaeilge mhaith agatsa. :-) Nár laga Dia do lámh! Slán go fóillín. | |

| - A name. Colm, would Tréan work? If we were to make up a name and use a synonym? Tá beagán Gaelige agam :( Edit: I removed my original reply, sorry about that Colm!! I was so excited to see Diarmuid around, I wrote right back and forgot to include my name suggestion (the original point of the thread). I know only a little Irish, so take it easy on me, ok? eeek! | |

| - Ha oui, J\'aime bien Lorcan... Setanta finissant par un \"A\" a tendance a sonner plus feminin dans notre culrure \"Americaine\". Je n\'ai jamais vu l\'accent que vous mettez sur le \"A\" de Lorcan. Est-ce du Francais? Merci Beaucoup pour les suggestions! P.S.: Mon clavier ne contient pas les accents... | |

| - De rien! Prendre à tâche pour trouver un nom. Qel dommage que je ne sais pas la prononciation Française! J\'ai regarde un autre nom ? | |

Est-ce du Francais?[/quote] En Gaélique Irlandais on utilise des accents (on dit síneadh fada) pour faire la différence entre les voyelle longues et les voyelle courtes. Des voyelle en Gaélique Irlandais: A, a, E, e, I, i, O, o, U, u. Á, á, É, é, Í, í, Ó, ó, Ú, ú. [quote][i]Originally posted by blonddgirl777[/i]Merci Beaucoup pour les suggestions!

All I said was that you had good Irish (mistakes taken into account) and to keep up the good work. :-) I wouldn\'t go for Tréan here. I kind of shy away from using a modern adjective or noun for a proper name, unless it is used already, as in the case of the girl\'s name Aisling meaning \'prophetic vision\'. Conor [\'coNe-r] is a modern fom of Conchobar. He was a King of Ulster. Otherwise there is Fionn [fueNe] and Oisín [\'Ush-ieNe]. | |
