   Please help me with my SCA Scottish Gael

   Hello, I am a new member to the Society of Creative Anachronisms, and I am in   
   somewhat of a rut as far as naming goes. There are so many different sources   
   and it’s all so confusing!   
      
   What I would like to know is the validity and pronunciation of such a name.   
   Currently, I am favoring a 9th century CE Scottish (“Alba”) persona, but   
   from my understanding since it is so early, Scottish Gaelic has not diverged   
   heavily from Irish    
   Gaelic.    
      
   The name in question is Aoífe Dearg inghean Domnaill. The pronunciation that   
   I have so far is approximately “EE-fa djer-ahk EE-nyen dun-aul”.   
      
   Any criticisms/advice would be greatly appreciated!   
      
   Thanks,   
   Ginny
