Q: What's the deal with your Twitter name?

A: It's the de-Anglicized, Irish version of my name. I changed it for St. Patrick's Day and found that I...kinda didn't want to change it back? So I didn't. I'm not changing it IRL (yet?), but I do like having it here on Twitter.

A few people at #AABA2023 recognized me from Twitter (😳) and asked about the name thing. My learning and thinking about this is ongoing, so I honestly don't have much to say about it right now, but here's some basic info for the curious...
Q: How do you pronounce it?

A: Thanks for asking!

1. Breej (with a slightly rolled "r")
2. Nick
3. AH (rhymes with "not")
4. nuh

The "accent" is called a fada, and it lengthens the vowel. Irish speakers are very proud of the fada!
