Talk:Eoin

there is a fada over the o...

no, there is not. Much like Caoimhe is not Caoímhe, the long vowel pattern gives a long sound. In the case of Caoimhe, think of the word faoi (under) and you see how it run. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.3.119.196 (talk) 14:30, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Some of the fadas here are backwards, which I've never seen in Irish, but I don't know enough about Scots Gaelic or the other languages to state outright that they needs to be fixed. Should they? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.46.0.253 (talk) 16:06, 9 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Easy way to tell Irish from the North British version of Irish is the direction of the fadas. 74.104.144.218 (talk) 23:32, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

""Eoghan" deriving from the Greek Eugene."

Merge with Eoghan
Do not support They are different names: Eoghan equates to Eugene (Greek, English) and Owen (Welsh) while Eoin is an early Irish form of John (English) Eoin, Iain and Ian in Scottish Gaelic and Scots XyzSpaniel  Talk Page  23:28, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Someone is trying to vandalise this page
Someone clearly wants to take the piss out of this random dude who has Eoin as a first name. There is no need for a random statement that is possibly factual incorrect and is regardless an opinion with an element of bias. I ask that this page can become protected so nobody vandalizes it and states an opinion which the person being talked about may not agree with. Also because the person is irrelevant and doesn't need a wikipedia article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheKnowledgeMaster1738 (talk • contribs) 15:30, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Soccer
The name is clearly EUROPEAN, why would we use an "AMERICAN" term for football? Jendrel (talk) 09:42, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
