My nephew Seirid Eoin (Sear-id Owen) Gleason was born at 7:41am on New Year’s Day!
Deirdre says there’ll be pictures of him later today. He was 7.5 pounds, 21 inches, and Breic is apparently taking it all in stride quite well. *beam* Yay!

Congratz, Auntie Catie! =)
Congratulations! And thanks for the pronounciation guide :)
Nifty names! Though, no one will ever pronounce them correctly, ever. :) Oh, they’ll pretend like they will. They’ll ask him at the beginning of every school year how his name is pronounced, but then they’ll spend the rest of the year pronouncing it any which way!
I mean, if they couldn’t get Tara right, Seirid hasn’t got a chance. :)
Congratulations to your sister and her family. :)
Yay!
Heh. Mony beat me to it–Deirdre’s not really thinking about how difficult her sons’ names are going to make life in school, is she?
Even as an adult, I have to spell both my first and last names!
Deirdre, who has an unusual name of her own, had the experience of first-day school where the teacher would say, “…dee-drah? Daydree?” and things like that, and after the first year, the other kids in her class all said, “*Deer-drah*,” to the teacher, scornfully. So I think she’s not terribly worried about the pronunciation problems. :)
I said congrats over in the feed comments, but will repeat it here. Congratulations! And the pronunciation problem should be neatly solved by moving to Ireland, right? :)
