It's a surname, I was watching a soccer match the other day and one of the players was called Cahill and it bothered me greatly how wrongly the commentator was pronouncing it

You're correct.

My Mum used to go mad when people used to say Galla- ger, or gallag-her instead of Galla- her.

Mystic Mock 22-12-2020 11:11 AM
I actually didn't know that I said Gallagher or Cahill wrong all of these years.:joker:

AnnieK 22-12-2020 11:33 AM

Also can I just say, the one bloody Irish name "Cahill" that is spelled how it would phonetically sound in English.........you pronounce it in a weird way, what's the story there?

Cherie 22-12-2020 11:42 AM

...I’ve always pronounced it Galla-har because I’ve always done the silent g in names, like my dad did...I didn’t know it was any other way as a child...my mum adopted that way as well...
