No one can pronounce my current last name as it is, let alone the Celtic one! LOL.

A few idiot telemarketers can't even pronounce my first name. They think I'm French or something.

Ye see Gaelic second names would solve this problem.

My second name, O'Connor is Ní Choncubhair...meaning daughter of Connor. (Alright, me da's name is Eddie...but the Ní means daughter of). My brother is O Choncubhair (meaning son of). While my late mother would have been Cáit Bean Úi Choncubhair (meaning wife of). So none of this old double-barrelled shite would have been necessary in Celtic days of old.

Your CURRENT last name? You planning on changing it? I've only had one last name since I was born.
