Shecky - what's it short for

A curse upon you Oliver Cromwell
You who raped our Motherland
I hope you're rotting down in hell
For the horrors that you sent
To our misfortunate forefathers
Whom you robbed of their birthright

Young Ned of the Hill

 

Try the veal.

 

Is it the best in town?

 

Nipsy and Flip.

 

Soupy.

 

I like Slappy and Shecky. Those are going on my non-Gaelic list.
I've also got Anvil and LaserWolf.

The wife is of Mexican descent, and I told her I'm open to Jesus and Cesar.

 

Nip and Tuck.

 

She put the kibosh on Cuchulainn and Fionn mac Cumhaill.

 

My favorite Gaelic name is "Siobhan"; how that translates into "Shevon" (ph) I'll never know but its so cool.

 

Maybe Nolan and Cromwell.

 

I never could figure it out when we studied him in high school. Who was the good guy, Cromwell or the King?

 

I like Siobhan, probably because the first girl I met with the name was beautiful. Same thing with Shannon.

My oldest brother and his wife named their second daughter Maeve, which I had never heard before:

Maeve is a first name of Irish origin. In Irish Gaelic, the name "Medbh" or "Méadhbh" means "she who intoxicates." It is rooted in the Irish legend of Queen Maeve or Medb, one of the main protagonists of the early Irish legend Táin Bó Cúailnge. It is also associated with the fairy queen Queen Mab of Irish and English legend. Other spellings include: Meave, Moibh, Meadhbh, and Mabh. It's a name that is generally associated with strength or beauty.

My youngest brother named his daughter Cordelia, which I guess is Celtic.
