The correct question would be “What is my name in Gaelic?” and specifying which branch of Gaelic. (See the first question.) This makes a difference, because the branches do vary slightly, and generally the fadas go towards the left in Scottish Gaelic (), and the right in Irish (). The Celtic names on these pages are of the influence in that country, deriving from Gaelic words. Ex.: Duncan would be Donnchadh; Catherine would be Catrona.
