I linked to this a while ago, but my mom sent it to me recently again, and since one of my new capabilities since I upgraded is embedding video, I wanted to try it out. The recent birth announcement for Molly Róisín made me think of it — the pronunciation of Róisín is discussed/demonstrated (hilariously!), as well as a bunch of my other (admittedly difficult) faves (from YouTube).

We're talking about Baby Names over at Channel Mum and I have a bit of a funny story regarding how we decided on our son's name. Don't judge me.... If yo

Welcome to #Namemas, a collaborative name celebration and Christmas Countdown.
