I prefer Greek and Gaelic
but having one child called Eurymachus and another called Mhairi would quite rightly make me look a wanker.

Luckily I'm unlikely to ever be in the position of choosing a name
as I'd have to have children for that.

We have a Mhairi
at one of our customers

There was a Mhairi at our school.
It's a nice name, but it will forever be associated with a fat mess to me. As will the name Amy.

Was she quite contrhairi?

That joke doesn't work :P

worked for me

It works, it's just not especially funny
If he'd said "was she quite cunt-hairy?" it'd have been funnier.

Cos of the SWEARING.

How did her 'lady-garden' grow, right?

Good work
There's a business opportunity here

Why, was she not actually quite contrary?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 15:13, Reply)

Because Mhairi is pronounced "Vowri"
This is one reason why I'd never actually use a classical or Gaelic name. Quite apart from instantly making me a wanker, having to explain the pronounciation each time I met somebody new would get really old, really fast.
( Kroney, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 15:17, Reply)

Gaelic spelling/pronunciation truly is contrary isn't it?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 15:19, Reply)

I was wrong
It didn't work.

Sorry Monty.
