Speaking of Gaelic names, since my husband is Irish, we have lots of them in the family. My husband's name is Sean (sorry, Kiki) and he spells it with the failte (sp?--I'm talking about the accent mark between the letters). His sister's name is Roisin (pronounced Ro-sheen). We also have a Siobhan and a Clodagh in the family.
On my side, we have all the traditionally Greek names. We have an Aristides, an Iraklis, an Olympia, and an Eleftheria. BTW Annie--my mom's name is Calliope (although its been translated into something else in Englsh)!
As for kids, greeklawboy's last name just screams Irish, so we tease each other that we're going to give our kids really Greek names to give them a complex. Just imagine a kid named something like this:
Odysseus O' Brian
Themistocles Mallone
Terpsichore Maguire
Aphrodite Callahan
Oh, the cruel possibilities are endless!
