You're right, of course, it is Donald, not Donal. But then I was born right, or at least Wright -- Raight/Raiught if you listen to the Galwegian crowd. Thus, I can get away with whatever the hell I like. But surely you would find no fault if Silly Wizard sang Donal (instead of Donald) McGillivray. That troosers shite is crap, sure as, well, shite, but I've yet to uncover a truly bad song in the recorded Wizard repertoire. But, lament that 'proper' Celtic spelling is the result of Anglo scholars trying too bloody hard. Let the ruddy 'H' (read haitch) that renders the immediately antecedent consonant silent rot in the bog. Bodhran is either bō'rän' or bou'rän allowing for regional dialects and all that rot; neither bō'drăn, nor bŏ'drăn are acceptable thinking Silly Wizard may not be so rotten a name, d. Donal, Evoy's son wrote I googled and it is 'Donald'. (What a fkg relief). That is not my name, so I insist. That song has therefore no relevance to me and those of my name-ilk. My name's proper Celtic and not some bastardised Anglisization. Donal or Dohnmaill McEvoy or MacGiollabhureirdi (obviously I could be just making these gaelic versions up - it's what Celts tend often to do; you can call me Siobhann btw and a fan of Seamus Jouycceeus) -- Be Yourself @ mail.com!
