More Gaelic Names

 

      I'm crawling out from under my covers, forgoing my turtle soup, and on the road to
      recovery...to give you more men's names in Gaelic. Here's a quick review....

      Seamus Alasdair Calum MacCoinnick Friseal
 
      SHAE-muss ALL-us-tir CAL-lum MACHK-coen-yeech FREE-shal
     
      James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser

      Just a reminder, most of these names did not have the pronunciations with them. So,
      these are semi-educated guesses. If anyone has another way of pronouncing any of
      these, jump right in with it.
