Tomás Ó hÉilidhe
Coos Haak:
My name is Irish.
In English, think about how you have:
a dog
a cat
a tree
but when there's a vowel, you have:
an apple
an ostrich
an elephant
Well, in Irish, instead of "an apple", you'd have "a napple".
Now imagine if you had a book called "an apple" or "a napple". How would
you capitalise the words?
Well "an apple" would be "An Apple". "a napple" would be "A nApple".
That's exactly what's happening in my surname; you have "Ó" flowing into
"Éilidhe", so it becomes "Ó hÉilidhe".
Just a question, what is the origin of your name, I've never seen
names in CamelCase ;-)
