You can't map the sounds of any one language onto another and be expected to be understood unfortunately. I recommend that if you're really interested in learning Gaelic, you invest some time in learning the right sounds and how to put them together.

Thanks , by the way, whats my name, Sam Brodie, in gaidhlig? Both are gaidhlig words but if theres a gaidhlig name for Sam then that would be nice.

's mise Sam Brodie, tha mise gu math...
