Anyone know any Irish?

Hobbes

A friend is looking for an Irish surname for her character in some RPG. Anyone willing to donate a name? (Thanks to the cool teaching system I never had to learn Irish )

I was hoping you might help with an Irish surname for my character Niamh, a 17thC swordswoman. (The game is a new one, 7th Sea - http://www.7thsea.com/main.htm , if you're interested.) So I need a surname that will go well with Niamh, and doesn't sound fancy - she's just folks really.

how about madra?

hahahahahaha

seriously though..
how about Mac An Cheannaigh.
means son of the mearchant. irish for chapman actually.
or me own name, Ni Ceannaigh
which is kenny

and im bloody australian ffs!

Hobbes

Your an Aussie? A bloody tame one if you ask me, too much socalising with pommies

You seem intent on getting the number one posting spot. I estimate 2 weeks tops before you pass me.

Anyway what's madra mean? Mother?

Rev Hellfire

depends on your mother.

LoLth

Now that's just being cruel lads...



anyway,

it would have to be Ni something, not Mac or Mc. Mac and Mc signifies 'son of', as in Fionn Mac Cumhail - Fionn son of Cumhal. Ni is 'daughter of' .

So, easiest way is to think of an Irish name for a man and then stick Ni in front of it, and fiddle with the ending so it sounds better

I kind of guessed that or byatch.

So how do you say "Oh my god! They killed Ni Ceannaigh! You bastids!" in Irish then?
