My beautiful wife and I are in the process of naming a little girl
on the way due in Sept. We'd relish an old Irish, Scotish name and have
looked at books with several listed but haven't a clue on how to pronounce
them correctly. Any suggestions from folks here would be welcomed...

Does anyone have or know where I can get the lyrics of a song titled 'The
Streams Of Lovely Nancy?'.

Diolch

about Scottish or Irish names.

Are you *sure* you want to afflict your child with something like
Chaoruinn or Cheathaich or do you just want to stick them with the anglo
pronunciation? Didn't Enya do that because no one ( in marketing) could
pronounce her name the way it should be spelled. :)
