Are you travelling to Ireland soon?
Or maybe you're looking for an unusual baby name?
Whatever your reason, learning Irish names can be really difficult for English speakers
and that's why I decided to make this video.
This is the third video in our series on pronouncing Irish names, so if you'd like to see more,

Are you ready to begin?
Our first name that we will look at is a female Irish name, Maeve.
Repeat after me, Maeve.
One more time, Maeve.
Maeve also has another spelling, which you can see on the screen now.
Both are pronounced the same.
Our next name is Moira, Moira.
Repeat after me, Moira.
The next name we will look at is particularly difficult.
It combines an M sound and a W sound, Moirain, Moirain.
Repeat after me, Moirain.
It's really difficult to say.
Let's move on to a male name that's a little bit easier to say, Malachy, Malachy.
One more time, Malachy.
Let's have a look at another male name which might sound familiar to you, Mícheál, Mícheál.
One more time, Mícheál.
And this is the Irish version of Michael, Mícheál.
Staying with male names, our next one is Mirtá, Mirtá.
Repeat after me, Mirtá.
Let's move on to the letter N, and our first name is Neil, Neil.
Repeat after me, Neil.
The next name we will look at is a little bit similar to this, Niall, Niall.
One more time, Niall.
Our next name is Nullag, Nullag.
Repeat after me, Nullag.
This is the Irish word for Christmas, and this name is given to boys who are born around
Christmas time.
