Default SHOCK as Irish name is pronounced how its written!

NEW Irish employee Kyla Burns has surprised her colleagues by revealing there are no hidden letters in her name



Admitted to being a member of B*Witched




Staff at London-based accountants Madeley-Finnegan greeted her warmly, but became visibly nervous when the time came to add her name to the tea and coffee rota.

Colleague Nathan Muir said: “She seemed nice and very genuine, but we got burned last month when Aisling Kelley visited from the Dublin office.

“I’m not accusing every Irish person of smuggling a few extra letters in their name, but that’s exactly how they get away with it.

“So you can imagine our relief when Kyla spelled her name and every single letter could be accounted for – like a proper name.

“After that she really bonded with the rest of the team, apart from being a little offended with our incorrect use of the word ‘crack’.”

Meanwhile, a name badge reading ‘Kaieyloagh Ní Byrnes’ was thrown in the bin moments before Kyla was taken on a tour of the office.

Irish names have been a constant source of irritation to the English since the 19th century, when many Irish families started hoarding extra letters in case of a shortage.

Also Irish names are pronounced how they're written if you're speaking Irish which is where those names come from

In Finnish language every word is pronounced exactly like it´s written.

That´s why our English accent is so awkward and funny to hear.
