Doesn't seem to be any Celtic/Irish connection. His real name was Robert Leroy Parker.\n"Butch Cassidy (April 13, 1866 - 1908?), American outlaw, was born Robert Leroy Parker in Beaver, Utah, the oldest of thirteen children born to Mormon pioneers from England."

Gaelic could be Scottish Gaelic and Irish is Irish Gaelic? I'm not sure but there maybe a Welsh Gaelic too.

I don't know who said it, but it sounds like they are saying that the Irish couldn't cross the waters to get to Scottland. That Scottish were Irish & just moved to establish a new country. There are alot of surnames that are both Irish & Scottish. That would explain that.

Here's always been my thought: I'm Irish and don't complain that Notre Dame's nickname is the "Fighting Irish."  I don't go around saying my heritage is being mocked or that I'm offended because "people think I like fighting."  It's ridiculous.  If any Native Americans are really concerned about this issues, why not look at poverty on the reservations, poor schooling, etc?  There's so much more to worry about than school mascot names.

I gravitate more towards the Celtic because it's part of my heritage.  I've always been drawn to Ceridwen.

Irish\n\nI have relatives in Dublin.  My mother who is Irish/English has a much stonger connection to my grandfather's Irish roots.   \n\nI know a lot of "Irish Catholic" Americans.\n\nPeople seem to identify very stongly with their Irish ancestory.

He was born & raised in Texas. Some people who live in other places will lose their accent. I have a strong southern accent, much more than my brothers & sister - we were all raised together & live within 10 miles of each other. Some people pick up accents more than others. If I spend a lot of time with my friends from out west, I get a weird accent. His Mom definitely has an accent.

I'm an American of Irish decent, married to a American of German decent. It made my family so angry when I married outside my species that they all got piss drunk and beat me up. And then, they sentenced me to..........."The Wearin' of the Green Shoes"! So now, if I return to Ireland, I'll be marked for assassination by both Protestants and Catholics alike.  ;-)

Which kind of accent are you trying to evolve into. I believe John Travolta's accent in that movie is actually very Americanized so you've actually to decide first whether u really want that kind of accent or something more British, or Irish, or Aussie, or Mexicano....."Be specific, Bob!"\n\nLastly I would love to break your spirits and say you cant really get the accent unless you go to the place itself and in Phenomenon I think its...um...Texas (?) or some country, and stay there for some time long enough to blend with the local people and live like how they live and talk like how they talk. Otherwise, you can still choose to become a media journalist and work for CNN. They're the multinational guys out there who, no matter what their face or color look like, they seem to have come from the same country I dont know which.
