[antir-heralds] gaelic scots name questions

[Judy Harcus]

A client is working on a Gaelic Scots name.  Her highest priority seems 
to be finding a name she likes the looks and sound of, and doesn't 
really have a particular time period.  She's asked the following 
question which I thought I'd pass on to the experts.  Some of her 
potential first names, though, came from OCM (Irish Names) so I'm not 
sure if those fit with the Scots Gaelic bynames.  - Alicia

I've been working more on this name thing -yeah, still.  lol   And now I 
have more questions -go figure.  I've been working in the by-name part a 
bit -doing the whole daughter-of thing. And I think I have that part 
worked out.  I think I want to use ingen/inghen/inghean/ 
Brian/Briain/Bhrian/Bhriain    ...if you haven't guessed I have some 
spelling (I know spelling's not period, but...) questions.  'Cause 
there's that whole confusing Gaelic Lenition thing that's confusing.  
And it changes the pronunciation?  So also how will that all be 
pronounced once it's all spelt in the good correct Scottish way??  

Then I can add it to my list of first names and see what sounds the most 
awesome.  That's the plan anyway.

Thanks so much for all the help with the crazy questions.  *grin*
