HAVING SUCH AN Irish name is tough.
1. How do you spell that?
You don’t even know, sometimes.
2. Going abroad, no one knows how to pronounce it
3. But sometimes they can make an effort
4. And still get it terribly wrong
5. It’s not
- Ayne
- Annie
- Anya
- Ayuun
6. You’re known to many as Enya
7. Or Onion
Hey, it’s your new life now.
8. Even Siri is a lost cause
HI AYN.
9. Seriously Siri, LIST-TEN
10. The red line is your worst enemy
Hello my name is Áine.
11. And frankly, no one knows where to put the fada
So it’s extra special when they use it, and use it right.
12. Don’t even get started on autocorrect
Do they know that your name means splendor, radiance, and brilliance? That’s pretty high praise. As WELL as being one of Fionn Mac Cumhaill’s wives.
Shout out to all the wonderful, radiant Áines out there.
