Martin Luther's baptismal rite was part exorcism.

zerofvcksgiven
so, are we invited to the exorcism now??
Retrikaethan
this is the kind of thing that happens when an atheist and a religious person get married and/or make a baby.

Fun fact: my friend's parents were French and Russian Catholic. Dad didn't care. Mom wanted to see her in the christening dress.
BababaMoooya1
Nice

Fun fact. Baptisms were done because it was believed that all newborns had a demon in them. He's kind of correct.

I am more inclined to go see an exorcism than someone pour water on a helpless infant.
JustMe93
I get your point but a christening is an exorcism. The prayer is literally a prayer to exorcise
melancholyterminator
Morbid curiosity is a great motivator alright! Baptism is a crock of shite anyway
cathalmc
You might remember that a Catholic baptism ceremony includes a "Rite of Exorcism".

Listening to Irish talk about anything is beyond captivating. I would be mesmerized if they were talking about tax code.

You're quite welcome to this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHoSQqoF7uk
HitachiMagicWand
Thx man! They even have real candles.

The Irish do not skimp when it comes to dramatic effects; these are folks who party around caskets at a wake, you dig?
HitachiMagicWand
No, I'm a mechanic. I wrench, I don't dig. lol
vivalacony
Are you talking about our accents or that we're a nation of storytellers?
HitachiMagicWand
The accent
littlegingerone
For those interested in why Irish names seem odd to read we don't have the letters j,K,q,v,w,x, y or z. These sounds are made with 1/2

littlegingerone
More like row sheen
lemonlime
I have an Irish customer named Roisin which I assumed was Roy-Sin until I asked her for correct pronunciation. It's Ross-Sheen.
littlegingerone
2/2 other letters like bh=v, as an example (or Mar shampla) vowels do their own thing except with a fada (meaning long) á =awh (seán)
Cheomesh
Get with the damn program.
littlegingerone
Excuse me?
AbominableToaster
OldTimeyPaperCompanyTycoons
That's pretty cool. So how would you pronounce this babies name in dumb American?
feawen
Seer-sha, two syllables. Some people say Sayr-sha, but aoi = ee. Different regions I guess
OldTimeyPaperCompanyTycoons
Thanks for the info.
appaismyspiritanimal
Like Siobhan!
AbominableToaster
How's that's pronounced?
littlegingerone
Shuv awn
MrE158
Also worth noting that a h after a consonant is a modern way of printing an old piece of punctuation (the séimhiú) that changes the sound.
Kaelthoss
Does Mh also make a v noise? Like the name Niamh (pronounced neeve)
HitachiMagicWand
I'm from Murica. If anything, we can pronounce Sean that way.
QuantumSupersexposition
Congrats
HitachiMagicWand
Thx man! Have an excellent day.

Sean is Seán when people don't have fadas on their keyboard. Btw sean without the á means old in Irish :p
HitachiMagicWand
That sounds crazy technical. Now pronounce "y'all".

KevinAtWorkDoingNothing
I was pretty sure my name was Irish, but it has a 'k'
littlegingerone
It would be a translation such as kaytlen -caitliín
KevinAtWorkDoingNothing
Sweet.
littlegingerone
Kevin in Irish is caomhán -qwuev awn
PigMarshBetweenTwoSaltWaters
It's the same reason Chinese names seem weird. When you try to write languages in different alphabets, you gon get shit.
SuwinTzi
Chinese names are weird because hanyu pinyin makes no sense compared to Wade-Giles, or Yale method.
espressoandpostrock
Pinyin makes sound associations, W-G tries to have you sound them all out and is just a mess.
OldeTymeMemry
Is that even a name? How the fuck do you pronounce that?
TezuNii
Cersei
FlatPlutoSociety
It's pronounced "Kevin." Irish names are weird.
Guestmod
sea or sha, is about as close as I can phoneticise it, but it means freedom in Irish, got very popular for girls after Irish independece
melancholyterminator
Seer sha or sayer sha, one of my favourite Irish names
Blovine
What about the Eoin name?
melancholyterminator
Owen, just the Irish version
Blovine

In eastern canada is this pronounced Shove-on. Are you putting on boots or calling your sister, we'll never know
sunfried
The Siobhan I know lived in New York, and it was hilarious to hear her girlfriends call her "Sha-vaawwwn"
tinnerz58
I had a friend named Aoife, knew her for a full year before I discovered what a train wreck spelling it is!
littlegingerone
It's Irish.. It is perfect in our language
tinnerz58
Oh I know, still not exactly helpful when you're dyslexic!
littlegingerone
Haha that's not even the half of it.. We have very subtle differences between words that can fuck up the meaning
BigIrishGuy
When people approach Gaelic (sounds like Gu-way-gey) as a native English speaker... You're going to have a bad time.
MrE158
Looks like you're confusing "Gaelic" (a family of languages) and "Gaeilge" (the Irish for Irish).
BigIrishGuy
My phone was trying to show me it was smarter than me! Fucken spell check, amiright?!
littlegingerone
So like 90% of the Irish population
MrE158
To be fair, there are three distinct major dialects, and it's not like Donegal and Cork are mutually intelligible in ANY language.
BigIrishGuy
Or more! I actually started learning more when I left. Honestly only my Gran actually spoke any until recently.
SteakJesus
How di you pronounce both names wtf

Sur-Sha, like inertia. The other is Ee-Fa.
