Sean Michael = Old Michael
Sean Miche�l = Old Michael
Miche�l = Michael
Now if it was..
Se�n Michael = John Michael
Sean is pronounced as "shan" and Se�n as "shawn".
Mike.

| Leaprechauns will assist further
I'll presume that since the Michael was spelt in english then your
Sean was the "Shawn" pronunciation. Sean is already a gaelic word
as pointed out correctly in .1
The gaelic for Michael is Miche�l (note the ' over the a)
It is pronounced Meehaul. Is is a slightly less gutteral pronunciation
of Mr. Gorbachev's first name.
Snake was called after the archangel.

| 753.3 | Sean Patrick?? | KAOM25::RUSHTON | Unscathed by inspired lunacy | Wed May 30 1990 14:29 | 12 |
| Would you entertain another request for the gaelic spelling and
pronunciation of my son's names?
Good! My son has threatened me with the removal of certain parts
of my anatomy which are quite private unless I can produce the correct
gaelic spelling and pronunciation of his name - Sean Patrick.
His case was made when he said, "Why give me a name that you can't spell
or pronounce correctly?". Good point, so could you provide me with
the aforementioned and allow me to keep my proverbials intact?!

| Great keVin! But what if my son asks about the difference in spelling
of the two versions you gave me? My manhood may still be at risk!

re .1 and .2
Myself, snake, and the archangel all erred!
Corrected spelling --> M�che�l
^
(forgot the fada over the "i")
Now we have two Michaels who can't spell their own name!
A response from the reptile is eagerly awaited.
re .5
Se�n P�draig ---> John Patrick
Se�n Ph�draig ---> John (of) Patrick
i.e. Patricks John...comes from rural
tradition where a person can be identified
through a relations name (e.g. father).
Initial consonant (P) changes to Ph.
Muintir She�in Ph�draig ---> Relations (of) John (of) Patrick.
Consonant changes in both names and
additional "i" in Se�n.
All to do with genitive relationships.
I would imagine "Se�n P�draig" adequately reflects the translation
of the young mans name.
Disclaimer.........I could be wrong of course...I was in .1!

| 753.7 | Waht does it *mean*, though? | GRANPA::TTAYLOR | I do not want what I haven't got | Tue Jun 05 1990 15:51 | 8 |
| Thanks everyone. But what I *really* want to know, is what do these
names (Sean & Michael) *mean* in Gaelic?
(Example, my name, Tammi, is a derivative of Tamara, "the palm tree",
in Hebrew) - except it doesn't fit for me! I'm not tall and slender,
I'm short and curvy -- more like a shrub than a tree!
Thanks! Tammi

| 753.8 | Aaaahhh, that feels better... | KAOM25::RUSHTON | Unscathed by inspired lunacy | Tue Jun 05 1990 19:12 | 10 |
| Mike,
My son and I thank you very much, but especially I because I can
now retain whatever vestiges that I have left of my manhood!

| 753.9 | "The palm tree" are innocent...... :-) | RTOEU::RDELANEY | Adam 'ad 'em....... | Thu Jun 07 1990 10:05 | 6 |
| > (Example, my name, Tammi, is a derivative of Tamara, "the palm tree",
And there I was thinking "Tamara" was the day after today or two
days after yesterday. Ah well live and learn............

Ok, help me , you guys! What does Sean mean at least? It's one of my

| <<What does Sean mean at least?
I never know what he means, everytime I go to talk to him he says,
"Dad! Go to your room!".
P�draig (father of Se�n P�draig)

| 753.13 | Just the facts, Ma'am (hope I got the facts right!) | AIAG::GAVIN | | Fri Jun 08 1990 16:06 | 11 |
| Tammi,
enough nonsense from these lunatics, I will try my best to answer your
question. Fear not, I'm sure that Sean Michael's name suits him:
Sean is Irish for John which is Hebrew for "God's gift"
Michael is Hebrew for "Who is like God" which is both a statement
and a question.
Michael Kevin Joseph Gavin, the brother of Sean Joseph MacDara, and son
of John Joseph William!
