Yeah... it's Kyle.
Thanks Ms. Lullaby. I've never heard that interpretation. I've always heard the one about being princely and one with god and all the other junk. I like the one you found better. |

well if we're talking about our actual names now then most, if not all of you know mine. It's Kiera, which is the British way to spell the more Irish Traditional name Ciara. Pretty much it is the female version of Kieran. It's quite a rare spelling and have only come across it here about 2 or 3 times in my life.
My online name little_bird or eanin_beag as it is in Irish comes from what my grandfather used to call me from time to time as a child. A friend of mine started to call me this a couple of years ago after telling her that so it remained as my online alias. |

Found it. I haven't seen your name in the variations list but I guess yours was translated.. And I can see how the nickname little bird would fit you ;) And Andrea since your daughters love the Fire man: :devil1: :devil1: |

About 4 years ago, after a conversation with a friend of mine, she happened to refer to me as a little bird and said I was like an 'éanÃ:censored:n beag' which immediately spurred on the revival of this nickname. It was long before this place and before any Jewel forum that I used this username. My husband runs a forum Enigma Message Board. I am Little Bird there too and so when Unedited came around in the Fansrule days, it seemed logical to use the same screen name. It's now stuck. |

Melinda. Middle name's Mae. I used to hate my name but now I LOVE it! I used to hate those kind of names but now I like those old school feminine names. It's better than Apple, Latrina (Latin for "toilet" by the way), Moon Unit, Dakota, or Jazzzmyne with 3 z's or whatever. It seems like every female in my family's middle name is either Mae, Mary, or Marie. I like those names, but how about some variety? And for the boys it's always Geoffrey, Jerome or Curtis, I mean, c'mon...it's like a cult-no variety! Naming habits in my family die hard, but like I said, they're not too bad and could be waaaay worse lol.
That's really neat. How many folks in your family actually speak Gaelic? Is it only a small minority in Ireland that can speak it, or are many of the people there bilingual? I also heard that there's an Irish minority that lives in the country that speak Gaelic as their first language and don't even speak English at all. Is that true? I personally think Gaelic is a beautiful language and think it should be preserved. I was always interested in taking it as a foreign language in school but they never offered it.

Many areas on the west coast of Ireland are mainly Irish speaking. Those regions are known as the Gaeltacht (pronounced gail-thocked), mainly parts of Galway and Clare and Kerry but some amaller parts of Mayo, Sligo and Cork also are mainly Irish speaking areas. There are some of those areas that refuse the English language but you'll find that mainly from the older locals there and are few and far between. But Irish would be the primary language spoken there. I adore our native language and my mother and I have often thought about going back and learning it fluently. We are teaching it to my 3 year old niece now. It's good to teach her early. If you ever get the opportunity, please consider learning it. It is a very old language and we are trying to preserve it. |

You're right, this thread does have me written all over it, but I'm not selling out.
Call me what you will, because I'm not giving you my real name. So, you'll just have to stick with 'Jones' as an acceptable substitute. Anchors Aweigh. |
