Funny story about Oisín, I was sub teaching in a kindergarten class and I was doing attendance and I came across the name and knew how to pronounce it because I watched another video about Irish names. Long story short the little kid was so happy I pronounced it correctly.

I seriously love this! My boys are half Navajo (I'm full blooded - USA Native American Tribe) and their dad is American with Irish ancestry. My oldest is Owen Náálzhééhí (the one who hunts, in Navajo language) and my youngest is Patrick O. My youngest doesn't have a middle name just an initial because he's a third. I want to give him an unofficial middle name. I love Oisín, Little Deer because in my tribe we have clans and our clan is Bííhbitóó'ní,which translates to Deer Water. ❤️

I... don't think so. As far as I know the different pronunciation developed as just a regional accent/dialect difference. But the name *can* be spelt differently based on how it's pronounced. "Pádraic" is really the easier way to spell it if it's pronounced with a "c" sound at the end (one of my co-workers spells and pronounces it this way). If you pronounce an "a" as "aw", it should really always have a fada over it in Irish. People just aren't bothered putting fadas over things, but they really should be there. Some people will still pronounce "Pádraig" as "Pádraic/Paw-rick", but again it's an accent/regional thing, it just means that they pronounce the "g" at the end of their words much more softly and quickly and perhaps not pronouncing the "d". Like "dearmad" (forget) in Irish. Some places it's pronounced "dahr-mud", others "darr-ood" - thereby changing the sound quite a bit, but not the spelling. There's also Caoimhe ("Keeva" vs "Kwee-va). Or "ionadh" ("oo-nah" vs "ee-nah"), which means "surprise". Accents, what can you do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@@FOC-xu2kw I'm not getting into a long debate over the geographical term 'British Isles', but its continual use as a descriptive term is a moot point and usage really comes down to where you're from and, to some extent, your political preferences or background; rightly or wrongly, you'll almost certainly find far more people who use the term 'British Isles' than don't. The word 'British'/'Britain' has roots that pre-date the poltical entity of Britain, just as Scandinavia, Celtic and other longstanding terms describe various peoples and places, many of which are politically independent from one another. Some Irish people (for reasons that I am not at all unsympathetic to) don't like the term British Isles, others aren't bothered. I've heard Irish citizens use it and other Irish citizens denounce it. The way that I and many others use it is as a simple descriptive geographical term, not a political, one. Debates can also be had about 'America', the English Channel and other geographic terms with baggage and complex poltical history, but this is a light hearted threat and that's for another day.

Over two hundred of his compositions survive today and every harpist I’ve ever met, even if they don’t play Irish music as a rule, can play at least one or two of his tunes. Carolan’s Concerto, Blind Mary, Bridget Cruise, Robert Jordan, The Separation of the Soul and Body, Squire Wood’s Lamentation On the Refusal of His Halfpence, Planxty Burke, Sí Bheag Sí Mór...

It doesn't resemble the angelizied version at all. The Galic spelling is McMurchadh and was the name of an infamous king from Leinster responsible for bringing the British to Ireland. The angelized spelling is Murrow.

I think it's actually the Irish reminiscence in American English, not the other way around - I've heard quite a lot of Irish people in Dublin with the same accent as hers

I’m from the US. I’ve never heard of Seamus being used as a slang for the police, but it’s very possible that it’s a thing in more Irish areas such as Boston. It’s a big country so we don’t always know what’s slang in other parts of the country. I do have a theory for why the name Seamus became more used here in the past 20 years though. There’s a character in the Harry Potter books called that. I don’t know how popular those books are in Ireland, but here the in US, they are definitely the most read series here in the last 20 years, so it wouldn’t surprise me at all to have babies be named after characters in that. 🤪

It's been a slang term for a detective for a long time. You'll hear it in old movies from the 30s and 40s. Also in some mystery novels. The spelling I've always seen is "shamus."

My great grandmother came to America from Ireland. My grandmother went back some years after her mother passed in ealry the 80's and traced our family history. Somewhere down the line Éamon de Valera is in our family tree. She used to tell everbody at family get togethers and would bring out the book she brought back from family in Ireland with all our family photos and history. Never got to meet my great grandma. But I do miss my grandmother. She was a one of a kind stubborn Irish woman...... But we always new grandma loved us.

That's a nickname from "Patrick/Pádraic/Pádraig". Or even sometimes from the female version of those names "Patricia/Pádraigín". It's a fairly common nickname here in Ireland. Although, normally it's spelt "Podge", but I can see how "Paudge" make more sense for some pronunciations.

Like anything varies by region, like the different pronunciations between region and class of Padraig. The fact that Ulster Irish is a pretty distinct dialect would influence things as well.

I watched the Irish girl names and , of course, I had to come back for the boy names! I found the names enchanting. If I knew how to incorporate any of these lovely names into the family during the time I was creating the family, I would have. But I married a man of Russian descent and the poor children would have two names they would have to spell out for their whole lives. Whatever, I enjoyed these two videos very much.

Yay Ciaran is in here 😭 That was always a Irish boy's name I've liked. Although I used to think it was pronounced "kee-UH-rawn" or "kya-run." 😳😳🤣. Will definitely remember the correct pronunciation from now on. In the U.S. I've seen both Kieran and Kiernan as variations (I guess.) Safe to say I love the original Ciaran better.
