The bishop asked if there were any "odd names" prior to starting, I didn't say anything. When I came up he looked at the name, looked at me, looked at the name again, then stuttered while trying to pronounce it. It was priceless!Januariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12431445114801304706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5094967570243723764.post-50767752742642415322011-05-04T09:17:12.327-05:002011-05-04T09:17:12.327-05:00Eamonn - but I speak Texan...Eamonn - but I speak Texan...Marcelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18121158394600137195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5094967570243723764.post-81341165164853949392011-05-03T17:54:59.504-05:002011-05-03T17:54:59.504-05:00Saint Abban of Magheranoidhe?

No, he didn't, it's pronounced Barr-yun.<br /><br />Our Lady of Knock. Who's there? Someone who knows that it's really pronounced "Kuh-nuck"!! The real name is Cnoc Mhuire, the hill of Our Lady. Interesting but odd fact Máire is the Irish for Mary but Muire is the name given, in the Irish language, to Our Blessed Lady and her alone.Éamonnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11560394580179348894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5094967570243723764.post-37823937937657274812011-05-03T14:28:30.285-05:002011-05-03T14:28:30.285-05:00Wish I had this a few weeks ago, but will save it ...Wish I had this a few weeks ago, but will save it for next year.
