6. It might be one of the most common names in Ireland, but you still encounter people who can’t spell it…

7. And that’s to say nothing of being called Ó Súilleabháin

God help you if your name is Ó Súilleabháin and you have to spell it out over the phone.

8. The apostrophe can be a serious hindrance

You’re well accustomed to filling out your name as “OSullivan” on internet forms at this stage.

9. But you wouldn’t change it for the world…

O’SULLIVAN TILL I DIE.
