Too many vowels, too many strange pronunciation rules, too… just too fucking Irish:

1.  Saoirse (“sear-sha”, or if you want to mess with them, “sasha”)
2. Ciarán (“kier-ahn”)
3. Aisling (“ash-ling”)
4. Eoin (“oh-win”)
5. Bronagh / Bronaugh (“Broh-na” — with a very slight “ch” at the end, pronounced like the Scottish “loch”) — see also Clodagh.

I think they just have these names to fuck with ordinary English-speaking people, so that they can mock us for not knowing how to pronounce them.  They’re almost as bad as the French.

Wankers.
