I guess as good a place to start is how my name would be translated, roughly.

I think oireamh is ploughman and fídire is happy/mirthful?

Sound close?

I think you mean "aireamh". I found it in Wingléacht dictionary. But I've never heard that word before.

I would suggest "An Treabhdóir Sásta".
or "An Treabhdóir Súgach" (which translates as both meanings of Merry, the older Happy meaning and the current drunk meaning)

I would definitely second:
An Treabhdóir Súgach

Be sure to get three in agreement with a translation given.

Well, this might seem a little nit-picky, but maybe it should be An Treabhdóir Óg Súgach because he's The Merry Ploughboy".

Unless the boyo is from Cork.

heh, heh

You guys are great, thanks!

Óg means young, no?

That's right. An Treabhdóir Súgach is "The Merry Ploughman", but you're "The Merry Ploughboy", so that's why I added óg.

By the way, I think oireamh is correct; it's just a high-falutin' literary way of saying it, so I'd stick with treabhdóir/treabhadóir.

What about meidhreach for merry?
