Old Macdonald had a farm.

😂you beat me to it👏

CauliflowerBalti · 08/01/2025 19:12

Ee-wee at first glance.

A proper look - I wouldn't even attempt it.

WidgetDigit2022 · 08/01/2025 19:14

Ridiculous. Do they think they’re Elon Musk?

I 1) wouldn’t attempt it and 2) would never remember it. She’d be forever referred to as ‘they/she’

Definitely Old MacDonald EIEIO
He's gonna be nicknamed Macca

Sing it as it looks, followed by 'A wim away, a wim away'.

Ask an Irishman?

As has been said many times at this stage, it’s not an Irish name. So that wouldn’t do much good, would it?

Ask an Irishman?

It's insulting and shows ignorance.

Ask an Irishman?

Tell me you’re ignorant and xenophobic without saying ‘I’m ignorant and xenophobic’.

Confusing my eyes reading it

Beebop1784 · 08/01/2025 21:52

ITT Brits at it again

Christmasandallthetrimmings · 08/01/2025 22:07

Christmasandallthetrimmings · 08/01/2025 22:07

Siobhan?

They're out in force today.

Do they actually think their xenophobia is amusing?

Barney16 · 08/01/2025 22:38

Susan, because my mum and dad gave me this really weird name and everyone at school laughed at me and sang old McDonald when I walked passed so I changed it by deed poll.

Willowkins · 08/01/2025 22:46

Yes
(It's Hawaiian according to Translate)

thaegumathteth · 08/01/2025 22:48

My daughter has an Irish name that is actually not 'confusing' to the English in terms of spelling / phonetics.

People still get it wrong NON STOP.

Because, as you can see from just this thread, they are morons.
