...and what do you suggest might be "naice" (my emphasis!)? What's not nice about Gaeilge? Is it not English enough? Or French enough??

..New one: How about Swa-Healy? Or quid pro quo........latin?

...or maybe, to quote John Wayne (aka Marion Morrison), American.

Slan tamall!!
 
Check out the translation for "Amadán" in a bi-lingual dictionary. Or maybe "fear grinn".

amadan = 'fool' or something, I think. Can't be bothered looking up 'fear grinn'. I used to have a link to a Irish-English dictionary, but can't find it now.
Interesting to note that translate.google.com doesn't have an Irish language option.
