What is the name of the new irish pub on the king street in alexandria virginia?

Yes, there's Murphy's and the Irish times but I was in Alexandria a month or so ago and I saw they were getting ready to open a new Irish pub. I didn't catch the name though, sorry. It's where Bullfeather's used to be. And what about Bullfeather's? That place was there forever.

What's a good alter ego name using the words: Black and Irish?

Say you are an African-American, and your influenced with everything about Ireland. And you call yourself Black Irish but there is one problem, Black Irish is taken for something else for Ireland description. So you have to use something else as an ego, using Black and Irish. An alter ego in general.


would like the alter ego to have like a ring to it like Barack Ombama.





Can you top: Black Clover, Black Angus, Celtic Ebony, Irish Black or I-Lack

In Need of Suggestions of Beautiful Irish Names for Fraternal Twin Girls?

We just found out on Wednesday, that these miracles that I am carrying are fraternal, and are both girls. We are drawing a total blank on what to name them, as we thought we would have at least one girl.


The babies will join big brother, Finley John. Their middle names have already been decided, they will be named after their grandmothers, Anna and Leigh.

Where did the last name of SHOULDERS Name come from? Is it IRISH?

This is what I found for you in relation to the surname *Shoulders*


Surname: Shoulders


This most interesting surname may have arisen from either of two possible sources. Firstly, it may be of Anglo-Saxon origin, as a nickname for someone with broad shoulders, or some peculiarity of the shoulders, from the Olde English pre 7th Century word "sculdor", meaning shoulder. There is also a possibility, however, that the surname may be a variant of "Shouler, Shoveller", which is a metonymic occupational name for a maker or seller of shovels or for someone who regularly used a shovel in his work, from the Olde English element "scofl", and Middle English "schovel", derivatives of "scufan", to push, shove. The surname from the former source first appears in the early 12th Century (see below), while other early examples of the surname include: Robert Schuldre (Norfolk, 1275); William le Schovelere (Oxford, 1301); Simon Shulder (Sussex, 1327); and Nicholas Shouler, Schoveler (Essex, 1366). In the modern idiom the variants of the name include Shouler, Showler, Shoulders and Shoveller. Mary Shoulder, daughter of John Shoulder, was christened on November 27th 1594 at St. Margaret's, Westminster, London, while Margaret Shoulder married Stephen Mount on September 17th 1638 at St. Dunstan's, Stepney, London. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Ran Sculdur, which was dated circa 1100, in the "Old English Bynames of Devon", during the reign of King Henry 1, known as "The Lion of Justice", 1100 - 1135. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.


Hope this helps.

Irish name for Shamrock?
Shamrock


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Jump to: navigation, search


This article is about the three-leaf clover; for other meanings of the term, see shamrock (disambiguation)


The shamrock, an unofficial symbol of Ireland and Boston, Massachusetts, is a three-leafed young white clover, sometimes (rarely nowadays) Trifolium repens (white clover, known in Irish as seamair bh谩n) but more usually today Trifolium dubium (lesser clover, Irish: seamair bhu铆). However, other three-leafed plants 鈥?such as black medic (Medicago lupulina), red clover (Trifolium pratense), and Common wood sorrel (genus Oxalis) 鈥?are sometimes designated as shamrocks. The shamrock was traditionally used for its medical properties and was a popular motif in Victorian times. It is also a common way to represent Saint Patricks day, a holiday celebrated on March 17.
Reply:Seamr贸g is the Irish name for shamrock. The word is a combination ot two words 'seamair 贸g' which means 'young (贸g) clover (seamar)
Reply:"Seamroy" as called by the Celts, considered a sacred plant in Ireland.Also signals the rebirth of spring, then later a symbol of emerging Irish nationalism.


Irish name pronunciations?

Can anyone tell me how you pronounce these Irish Baby names?





Sadhbh


Sadb


Saibh


Sithmaith


Siomha

Irish name pronunciations?
Sadhbh is pronounced sive like the word five but with a s instead of an f.





Sadb this isnt an Irish name or is an incorrect spelling of Sadhbh.





Saibh this isnt a real Irish name either and its possibly also an incorrect spelling of Sadhbh, but it is lik eth Irish word raibh which is pronaounced rev or row depending on the dialect your speaking, so "Saibh" should be pronounced sev or sow.





Sithmaith isnt an irish name either. I looked it up online and found a few claims that its means good pecase because maith means good (which it does) and sith means peace but the word sith doesnt mean anything in irsh. However it would be pronounced sih-maw, with the si sounding like sit without the t.





Siomha would be pronounced see-o-wa
Reply:- Sadhbh - SIEV


- Sadb/Saibh - variants of Sadhbh; pronounced SIEV


Sithmaith - SHEE-vah

Wolfram is an Irish name?

Sorry Wolfram is NOT an Irish name, either as a forname or a surname. It is not even a bastardisation of an Irish name. It sounds to me as if it may derive from Scandanavia.

Wolfram is an Irish name?
it s a germanic name. assumingly meaning "the woolf and crow from Wodan. wolf = woolf and hraban = crow





Wodan used to be the God of death and slaughter. He was riding a horse and was always escorted by a woolf and a crow. thats where the name comes from.
Reply:Nope...the name is actually English in origin, deriving from the old English word 'Wulfrun' ;-)





But then again the English language is Germanic in origin, due to the Anglo Saxon invasion into Britain at the end of the Roman Empire, so you could say that the name has germanic roots also...
Reply:I thought it was an old name for (the metal ) Mercury.
Reply:Nope not Irish...German. Im no expert but my last name is Wolfram and it means tungsten, a metal on the periodic table of elements, #76, symbolized with a "W." Tungsten is the tiny filament in a lightbulb. Another tidbit of info...the spanish name for this filament is "wolframita." Hope that helps. Also, I believe there is a city in Germany called Wolfram...
Reply:NO!!!
Reply:Definetly not. It must be German or whatever.
Reply:No it's not. There is no 'w' in the Irish (Gaelic) alphabet.
Reply:no - its liquid tungsten

Does anyone no the name of the irish game that you play in ireland, which is a bit like football/ rugby?

Gaelic Football. Gaelic football is played by teams of 15 on a rectangular grass pitch with H-shaped goals at each end. The primary object is to score by kicking/striking the ball with your hand and getting it through the goals. The team with the highest score at the end of the match wins.





Players advance the ball up the field with a combination of carrying, soloing (dropping and then toe-kicking the ball upward into the hands), kicking, and hand-passing to their team-mates.

Does anyone no the name of the irish game that you play in ireland, which is a bit like football/ rugby?
it called gaelic football and is known as gaelic games. the two gaelic games are gaelic football and hurling (played with sticks known as slitoirs ) and leading body is the g.a.a. or gaelic athletic association





croke park is the gaelic games headquarters where ireland temporarily are allowed by the g.a.a. to play while landsdowne is re-constructed
Reply:Its called Gaelic football. It is similar in some respects to soccer ( football or whatever you want to call it ) and rugby. Its 15 v 15 with mostly set formations. In tatical terms it would be a 1-3-3-2-3-3 formation. Players are allowed to catch the ball and advance up the picth by running with the ball in hand but they must solo ( kick the ball back to themselves ) or hop ( bounce the ball similar to basketball) every 3 steps however a player may not hop the ball twice in a row. Scoring is done by kicking or fisting ( hitting the ball off one hand with the other using a closed fist usually, a player is not allowed to throw the ball) the ball between the posts ( similar to rugby posts but with a net below crossbar ) and above the crossbar which gives them 1 point or by kicking the ball past the goalkeeper into the net which gives them a goal worth 3 points ( a goal may also be scored with the fist but it must be off a pass from another player and the player fisting the ball to the net may not catch it in between )
