My son and I have been working together teaching irish ceili dancing to a group of adults. We would like to give our litte group a name in Irish, but need help. We wanted something that would relate to us or to dance in some way that was not to difficult to pronounce.
Some ideas were;
our place of ancestry: is Mayo
our home town here: lost river
the two of us
something to do with red or red hair
Please help us out, we are open to any suggestions. Thanks in advance, Nora langdon

Mayo -- Maigh Eo
Lost River -- Abhann Caillte
the two of us -- an bheirt againn
red hair - gruaig rua

How about "the two red(haired) An Bheirt Rua

Rince an bheirt rua againn

-Phil

Rince na beirte rua againn, please!
An Tuiseal gineadach, arís!

thank you all for your suggestions. Can anyone give the the pronounciation of these names please?Abhann Caillte and an bheirt rua againn or Aonghus'suggestion; Rince na beirte rua againn

Also,Aonghus, I think An Bheirt Rua looks good to me as well. Do you pronounce it:on vert roo-a?

A chairde,
Phonetics does seem to pose a challenge on occasion when trying to give them for those who speak with different accents among us.
OK, here's my attempt at Aonghus' translation for our U.S. speakers.
rink-uh nuh bear-chuh roh egg-in.
Slán,
Maidhc.

I'm not sure since I'm a Dublin Jackeen, and very bad at putting sounds in English on Irish.

But "on vert roo-a" for An Bheirt Rua sounds ok when I say it to myself!

An Bheirt Rua.

On

Vert (As in perVERT)

Roo (as in Poo)

a

On Vert Rooa

By the way, is "rua" not an adjective. Looks like someone thinks it's a noun. But then again, there's the word "Éireannach" which acts as both.

In the West of Ireland, Bheirt is pronounced like "birch" but with a V, and the "i" replaced with the "e" from "bench".
