How do you pronounce "Treabhdóir?" Is it like traw-vor?

It just occurred to me that its probably pronounced like Trevor and I bet its where that name comes from.

I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.

meidhreach would also work.

Some traditional dance tune names where the English is "Merry" have súgach in the Irish and others meidhreach, e.g., An Fiagaí Súgach "The Merry Huntsman", Buachaillí Meidhreacha Bhaile Fhobhair "The Merry Boys of Fore", etc.

Some tune names also use aerach for "merry", e.g., Aimsir Aerach na Cásca, but aerach means "gay" and has now taken on the same connotations as the English, at least by some speakers.
