    Irish names are fun. There’s also a good amount of Irish people going for deed poll changing their name from the English spelling to the Irish one and vice versa. A friend of mine went from Noel to Nollaig.

      I work with a lot of Irish people and I’ve just got used to the fact that “Smith” is spelled “Smyth” apparently the y is silent and the i is invisible.
