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

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.
