Seems like I heard that as the equivalent of "Evan" in English, but I'm strictly a dilatante when it comes to Gaelic.

BTW, welcome aboard. Your might be in questionable company here, but we're mostly harmless.

thank you guys...i like dubious company...smile...they are the best kind...of course i say that being that i'm what most refer to as dubious company. Another question: can speakers of Irish Gaelic understand speakers of Scottish Gaelic...or is it merely an accent thing. My future son-in-law speaks Gaelic and many other languages but he's not a native speaker so his accent is a bit different I'm guessing. Jayha
