That's kinda funny/kinda cool. Mostly cause the irish gaelic term acushla as my term of endearment in the game. Kinda cool that "my dad's" name is of irish derivation.Neil is a masculine given name of Irish origin. The name is an Anglicization of the Irish Niall which is of disputed derivation. The Irish name may be derived from words meaning "cloud", "passionate", or "champion".
