Ahhh the trouble with Irish names. We have all seen the classic videos of English or American folk trying to pronounce names spelt as Gaeilge.
Whether your name is Daithí, Fiachra, Donnchadh, Áine, Aoife or Niamh, the likelihood is that people are going to struggle when saying your name, unless of course, they're Irish.
It is something we are much proud of, I feel.

One football club though is on hand to help supporters get to grips with this most common issue.
Caoimhin Kelleher made his first team debut for Liverpool recently, and has now played against both Manchester sides,
keeping a clean sheet in the most recent game against arch rivals United. It is an incredible achievement for the 19-year-old Cork native who signed for the club from Ringmahon Rangers.

What makes this feat all the more remarkable is that the Republic of Ireland u19 international only took up position between the sticks at 14 years of age.

After an impressive start to his senior career at Anfield, Liverpool fans just might want to get to know the young shot stopper. And where better to start than being able to say his name properly.
Well, it just so happens the club's website realised the difficulty fans face when trying to grasp the pronunciation of Caoimhin. So they decided to highlight how to say it in their player profile of Kelleher.
There you have it. If you hear any Liverpool fans saying young Kelleher's name wrong then just refer them to the club website where it has been marked out clearly that his name his pronounced 'Quivine'.
It is a nice touch from the club to put it out in the public domain so that fans can get to know him. Though, we reckon in a few short years nobody will need to be told how to say Caoimhin's name.
