i think we didn't realise how good we had it and that you had a handful of nuts in store.

i read 'darraghmac' with a silent g and a strict look on my face.
oh darragh<3 xp.
― estela, Friday, 11 May 2012 00:12 (twelve years ago) link
if it helps my birthcert is 'dara' and that was ok until we moved for the third or fourth time and there was a girl in my class also called dara and i went home and had a very serious talk with dad and we agreed that while phonetically things would just have to be borne i needn't suffer the indignity of getting my copies mixed up with a GIRL'S and 24 years later it cost me an extra twenty quid on a passport renewal. I dunno is there a moral tbh.

i had to read that post five times. that was rough. for some reason.
― scott seward, Friday, 11 May 2012 00:22 (twelve years ago) link
wait, i'm still confused. you had your name changed to darragh? for real? wow. cool spelling anyway.
― scott seward, Friday, 11 May 2012 00:23 (twelve years ago) link
my dad's name is ashley. nobody names their boys ashley anymore.
― scott seward, Friday, 11 May 2012 00:24 (twelve years ago) link
I guess you still get 'Ash' instead of Ashley. Americans have a lot more male Kims and Kellys than we do - I think of those as exclusively girls' names. I'd have though that 'Dara' was thought of more as a gender-neutral name in Ireland, though?
― emil.y, Friday, 11 May 2012 00:26 (twelve years ago) link
dara is a cool name no matter how you spell it. dara is a good sci-fi/fantasy name. darragh is kinda highlander.
― scott seward, Friday, 11 May 2012 00:27 (twelve years ago) link
dara is gender neutral, that was the problem.
We moved to another school when i was 12 and there was a girl there called darragh but i was off the 'girls are smelly' wagon by then and besides i had a signature so changing was too much hassle iirc

we do? maybe some kellys, but the only male kim i know is philby

kim fowley!

darrugh is what a bunch of little nz girls with scruffy pigtails might change it to if they were feeling snippy.
― estela, Friday, 11 May 2012 00:35 (twelve years ago) link
how'd you pronounce it tho
― pet tommy & the barkhaters (darraghmac), Friday, 11 May 2012 00:37 (twelve years ago) link
kipling fans probably still name their kids kim.
my mother's middle name is jo! cuzza little women.
― scott seward, Friday, 11 May 2012 00:38 (twelve years ago) link
i see darragh and i initially would think it was one of those scot/irish DAH-RHOOOOGH kinda pronunciations.
― scott seward, Friday, 11 May 2012 00:40 (twelve years ago) link
my mom once told me that had i been a girl she might have named me kim : /
― mookieproof, Friday, 11 May 2012 00:40 (twelve years ago) link
I think of Kelly as a surname tbh.
― NSFW Australia (seandalai), Friday, 11 May 2012 00:44 (twelve years ago) link
i know a few kellys but no kelly kellys
I keep wanting to spell it kellies
― pet tommy & the barkhaters (darraghmac), Friday, 11 May 2012 00:46 (twelve years ago) link
does darragh rhyme with farrah or lara? i've always, i think wrongly, rhymed it with farrah.
― estela, Friday, 11 May 2012 00:51 (twelve years ago) link
i would genuinely need to know how you pronounced each of those names before i answered that.
― pet tommy & the barkhaters (darraghmac), Friday, 11 May 2012 00:57 (twelve years ago) link
Farrah = first a is short, as in 'parrot'.Lara = first a is long, as in 'car'.
I think.
― emil.y, Friday, 11 May 2012 01:00 (twelve years ago) link
if farrah as in fawcett then ya
lara is p much the same tho ime, tho i do know a lara and as it's been explained to me you don't say 'lara' and it's not quite 'laura' and for god's sake stop saying 'lorra' so i eventually stopped referring to the girl at all, which was a pity because she was wildly interesting and devilishly attractive.
― pet tommy & the barkhaters (darraghmac), Friday, 11 May 2012 01:00 (twelve years ago) link
i think our accents are showing, emily!
How'd you pronounce par, or carrot?!
― pet tommy & the barkhaters (darraghmac), Friday, 11 May 2012 01:02 (twelve years ago) link
yes, like farrah fawcett is how i pronounce it.
― estela, Friday, 11 May 2012 01:02 (twelve years ago) link
then we have no quarraghel
― pet tommy & the barkhaters (darraghmac), Friday, 11 May 2012 01:05 (twelve years ago) link
i pronounce it DURRRRR-a-mac

I'm so confused trying to remember the various names in question, but as far as "darragh," 1. I didn't realize that was your real name until I saw you on FB and then 2. I thought it was an Irish spelling of "Derrick" (prounounced "DARE-reg") and 3. I have never heard of Dara. And 4. "Farrah" and "Lara" are pronounced the same IMO.

both my kids are in love with the pronunciation guide. they actually remember all the phony words! rufus even wrote a song using the fake names.

There are 174 videos in that series and most of them that I remember are funny. A couple are the too-obvious American trying to pronounce a French word thing, usually w/ a hick accent. Brontupisto is amazing, however.

ive always thought of it as being the farrah pronounciation
― O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Friday, 11 May 2012 04:01 (twelve years ago) link
of course that prob stems from when ilx mods used to have to use voice recognition software to ban people from "the church"
