Okay here's a quick Irish lesson for you: #Gaeilge

"name" in Irish is "ainm"
"soul" in Irish is "anam"

Pronounced ah-nim vs. auh-nmm, so they're VERY similar sounding. (I'm not even describing it right tbh)

So if you want to ask someone's name, you say

"Cad is ainm duit?" -> "what name belongs to you?"

But it sounds very similar to

"Cad is anam duit?" -> "what soul do you have?"

So when you meet someone new in Irish, you can either ask their name or give them an existential crisis, and personally I think that's awesome ^_^
