Can Americans please not bring Irish Gaelic names into white names discourse?
Irish is the native language of Irish people. It’s an ancient language that is on the brink of extinction as a direct result of colonialism and cultural and physical genocide.
Names like Saoirse (freedom), Áine (radiant), Aoife (beautiful) etc are traditional Irish names. They’re spelt “funny” because Irish is a different language from English, and has some sounds that aren’t found in the English language.
It’s not the same thing as edgy white Americans naming their kid Kathylyn instead of Kathleen to try to be different
not necessarily! try out The Conversation, they put scientists and journalists together to write articles. here's a bit from their About page:

I've been reading articles from them for a while and I really enjoy it. If you're looking for more journalism in Science that's specifically in English, check out Quanta magazine! they're another great resource that I've posted about before. they post less frequently, though, and their articles aren't under Creative Commons. they describe themselves as "An editorially independent publication supported by the Simons Foundation." so do with that what you will
Kinda sad to learn that there aren't really any 'Popular Science' news sources that has actual scientists writing the article--more specifically scientists writing popular science articles about their paper.
