By the way, I LOVE the names Ryan, Sean, and Seamus for boys, and Neve, Neela, Cara, and Anya for girls. I think I'd like Tadhg better if it was spelled Teague, which I saw on a list as the Anglicized version of the name. I mean, I know some people feel really strongly about not using the alternative spellings, but I think it would be way easier to pronounce it if you don't live in Ireland.

I'm the same way. I outside of nyc and i live in a very irish neighborhood...but outside of these few blocks no one would get it. However, I have a neighbor named Tadhg and he said he doesnt have a lot of problems with his name. Another alternative is Tighe. So thats an option too


and I forgot Liam...I love that name too.

thanks for the comments
