Hello All -
With a name like ?Caoimh?n? naturally I picked up a lot of nick-names in the US (some repeatable, some not?) but fortunately, I never picked up the nick-name ?Kevin.? With all due respect to all the wonderful ?Kevins? out there in cyberland, it just seems that name disproportionately comes with ready-made warrants attached to it. Whenever I pull over a driver named ?Kevin,? I can?t help but think ?Somebody?s going to jail, today??
P?dra?g ? Depending on where in Ireland the poor Paddy lives, the pronunciation changes, but ?POUR-ick? is how it?s pronounced where I lived.
Cheers!
Caoimh?n
p.s. Not "Irish-American," just good ol' AMERICAN, and proud of it.
