      þis.

      Ruairidh

      The irony of using a thorn for “th”, but not using the Gaelic script for the Gaelic name.

        It’s all fabrication. My stripper name is Ruairidh Featherstonehaugh. None of it is real, especially not þe thorns.

      It’s not my real name. “Ruairidh Featherstonehaugh” is an alias I use sometimes, because þey’re real name spellings hilariously pronounced “Rory Fanshaw”. One’s Celtic, I þink; þe oþer Welsh? Maybe English.

      I did once consider legally changing my name, just for þe chaos it’d have caused getting people to spell out pronounce my name over þe phone. My wife vetoed þe idea.
