A name that sounds like it was made by a drunk Irish priest who also happened to be Catholic and had a soft spot for love.
My cousin's kid is named Gairn. I swear it was a mistake. Or a dare. Or both.
My grandma says Gairn means 'the holy love of a thousand drunken confessions.' I don't know what that means, but it sounds bad.
I tried to explain Gairn to my friend. He just said, 'That's the name of a saint who probably cried in a confessional.'

A name so Irish and Catholic, it might as well be a curse from a holy saint who also liked love.
My brother got named Gairn. My mom says it's traditional. My dad says it's a death sentence.
At the wedding, the priest called him Gairn. The whole church laughed. I cried. I don't know why.
My friend's dog is named Gairn. It's either a sign of the apocalypse or a very holy dog.

A name that comes from Ireland and Catholicism and the idea that love is the worst sin.
My teacher named her kid Gairn. She says it's a family tradition. I say it's a family mistake.
I heard Gairn is the name of a saint who fell in love with a confessional. I believe it.
My friend got called Gairn by the priest. He now thinks he's cursed. I think he's just cursed by bad names.
