    De-Anglicisation of Names

    "De-Anglicisation of Names"
    "I'm good at taking modern-day anglicised Celtic names & surnames and reverting them to their original form......
    So, if anyone wants to know the original form of their name, post it, and I'll give it a try for fun"

    So, Slohairt,
    I've been looking at this thread for some time, and finally thought I'd take advantage of your generous offer, so, how about these: Gerald Douglas Bruce?
    thanks, in advance

    Here ye be:

    Gerald: Gearalt (IRISH or SCOTTISH GAELIC) Pronounced GER-ALT. (hard 'G')
    Douglas: Dubhghlas (IRISH or SCOTTISH GAELIC) Dhooglass (MANX) Both pronounced DOO-GLASS.
    Bruce: Though of Norman origin, Bruce is usually rendered in Scottish Gaelic as de Brùs, Brùs, or Brùiseach. Pronounced DE BROOS, BROOS, and BROOSH-AKH respectively.
