Bharhach O'Bhamagh
He doesn't have a chance.
First of all, I've officially killed off the apostrophe, so his name can no longer hold its meaning "Son of Bhamagh", or more literally "of the Bhamaghs". Second, we had our Irish president - John Kennedy. We're only allowed those every hundred years or so, and as so many have told him, "It may be too soon." He thinks they mean he needs more time in the Senate.
Third, he doesn't LOOK Irish. He's black Irish, descended from those Spainiardos who bobbed up the Atlantic coast and mated with the Catholic girls to the north. It was a good match, a solid match: one, who sponsored the Inquisition; and the other, who clung to Catholic dogma so tightly, the Inquisition looked like child's play. Their offspring were devout, with dark eyes and hair. Bharhach is a striking example, albeit one with an unusually good tan.
The Irish are usually pastey-white.
For those three reasons, don't bhank on Bharhach. Other people will give you overthought, incidental, superfluous rationale. Don't listen to them.
It's lack of apostrophe, one Irish president every hundred years and he doesn't look Irish. Those are his fatal flaws.
