Pointy - tis fine Grin If you can't say it straight on MN where can you?

(i was going to put a smile but that's so passive aggressive these days i didn't want you to take it wrong)

Yes, smiles are always treated with suspicion aren't they. Quite right too.

A very close family friend of ours is called Mhairi and she is absolutely lovely. It is also my dniece's middle name.
I don't think many people will have trouble with the pronounciation of her name and it only takes two seconds to explain that "Mh" makes a "v" in Gaelic. It is a lovely talking point for her too. Grin
My dd also has a Gaelic name with a spelling that wouldn't occur in English and it has not caused her any problems.

FWIW my favourite boys' names are:
Struan
Angus
Joseph
Gabriel
Charlie

I love the name Mhairi and would have loved to use it but my partner was not keen (he is English and thought it was strange!) - also we live in England and I don't think it works very well when said in an English accent, particularly northern (not a major problem if you are in Scotland, and everyone will know how to pronounce it).
