Help[Opinions] Re: Mhairi
in reply to a message by Scotty
Scotty, do you know if Mairi is used in Scotland as well as Mhairi? I know I read somewhere, long ago, that Mhairi is the vocative form and so a girl would be named Mairi and then if you called her, you'd say Mhairi. Does it work like that in practice? Or only if you're actually speaking Gaelic?

Yes, Mairi’s definitely used here too. Couldn’t tell you about the Gaelic unfortunately, I don’t live in an area where it’s spoken to a great extent so I didn’t actually know about that! Interesting! I guess it might work like that in the islands or somewhere Gaelic is spoken widely.
