Help[Opinions] Cuchullain?
There's a little boy who plays where I work all the time named Cuchullain. I find it a nice alternative to Cullen, which has grown in popularity as far as I can tell. What are your thoughts?

I automatically thought of the Adiemus song "Cu Chullain".

I guess it has a nice sound (I pronounce it coo-hoo-lin), but it only makes me think of the story of Cuchulainn, and thus dogs, and I don't like dogs.

I prefer the spelling Cuchulainn and the pron. Coo-hoo-lin
I can't really imagine it on a real person though.

How is it pronounced?
I recognized that it's Irish Gaelic but I don't think I've ever heard it pronounced before.
Kuh-kul-layn?

The boy I see and his family pronounce it like Coo-cullen

Thanks!
Thanks for clearing up the pronunciation for me.
I like it because it's Irish and has a unique sound. The spelling/pronunciation is a bit tricky but not as difficult as some. I think I do like it better than Cullen, it has a bit more interest too.
Thanks for sharing! :)
