Scottish Gaelic 
Hi, I am a preschool teacher and I have a strange question I am hoping you can help me with. I have a child in my class named Ailbhe. I need to think of an object that starts with the same sound and letter of her name. We will draw the object and put it next to her name as an icon in our classroom. There is not really such an object-sound combo in English. For example, Ellie- Elephant is great for an E name in English, but elephant does’t work for Ailbhe because our A doesn’t say “e”. Can you please tell a good match in Gaelic? then we can just explain to the children that Ailbhe’s name is from a different name, Gaelic!
Thanks for any suggestions you have!
