No it wasn't improved, it was bastardized. It's an Irish language name. Words starting with S in Irish make the sound SH makes in English. People seem to think that Irish is just Irish people speaking English badly......it's whole different language :nono:

Sorry, it's just really annoying when people go on about Irish names and how we can't spell etc. It's never said about Russian names or French names etc because people don't seem to have any trouble understanding that they are different languages to English

Liam- 28-08-2020 10:09 AM
Don’t get so outraged by it, it’s just a discussion

:smug:

Well I’m sure they can spell I didn’t say they couldn’t :laugh: I was just having a little laugh because a lot of the time my name gets misspelt for Sean instead of Shaun so I was just joking that ‘Shaun’ should be the only way it should be spelt. Thanks for calling my name bastardized btw :laugh:

Thank you Kazanne.

I've had Joey since I was at school.
Even my Parents came over to calling me it.

My Grandmother I was really close to however, oh no it was always Joseph from her.

It eventually got to where I thought I'd done something wrong if I heard Joseph called out to me.:joker:

yes and it should be neem

thus saving letters and ink and people typing

I worked out that 6 and half years of typing have been lost in the last 10 years by people on tibb having to type that extra H in your name


:oh:

.....is one of the most common male names in the English-speaking world. In the United States, ..... was one of the five most common given names for male babies for most of the twentieth century. Its popularity peaked during the Baby Boom (Census records 1940–1960), when it was the most popular name for baby boys. Its popularity has declined considerably over the past thirty years, but it still remains one of the twenty most common names for boys.

In Northern Ireland, the name has appeared among the 10 most popular for the last quarter of the 20th century and into the 21st. In 2013, ..... was the eighth most popular name for boys in Australia.

It seems to be very difficult to find the most popular names in total - or over the last 100 years - in the UK.

Names get changed all the time by countries. The Gaelic version of James is Seamus, which then got turn back into Hamish.

I just found out that Thiago and Diego are versions of James also, which came from Jacob.

That's more of a translation though rather than same name with a different spelling. Like Guillermo in Spanish is William in English type thing. Seán would actually be John is English

...finally, the mystery of your name revealed...!!...I’m just working this out and hello there, Ms Nobody Puts MB in a Common Corner...:love:..it’s lovely to meet you...

The row over Sean :joker:

I have an American cousin called Shawn and one called Connor they add an extra n :sad:

Jessica. 29-08-2020 10:29 AM
