I had to go all the way to Scotland to learn how to pronounce your name! It means "a musical occasion" (like singing and dancing), right?
While visiting in Scotland, I attended a "ceilidh" but wasn't sure of how to say the word. I wrote it down in a little notebook. The next day, I approached a middle-aged, non-scary-looking lady, and asked, timidly, "Excuse me, are you Scottish?" She said that she was. So I pointed to the word I had copied into my notebook and asked, "How do you pronounce that, please?" She told me, "KAY-lee!"
Didn't get to visit Ireland. Maybe next time.
