:greengrin

[Hibercelona]

rear-end :devil:

[Greentinted]

I asked James Riordan for guidance on this a few years ago (to settle a bet) and he said its Rye-or-din!

[Bayern Bru]

What's wrong with Deek? :wink:

[lapsedhibee]

I always thought it was O'Riordan. :confused:

[Pedantic_Hibee]

"Yernogettingin"

[broonie27]

Don't really know what the difference between the first and third choice is TBH but I know for a fact it's RYE-OR-DAN. Heard it from the horses mouth in an interview.

[An Leargaidh]

When Deeks first appeared I thought his name was Ree-or-dan and I did hear a few folks saying it like that but I have for a long time heard the man himself and TV pundits etc. calling him(self) Rye-or-dan so the man knows how to say his own name I'm sure :agree:

Interestingly the original form of this Irish name was O' Rioghbhardain which came from the words riogh and bhard, meaning "royal bard". Throughout the centuries the name has gone through many different spellings including O'Riordan, Riordan, O'Rearden, Rearden, O'Riordon and even Oriordan. The name first appeared in County Cork in the middle ages. :blah: :greengrin

Not sure, back in the Mowbray days it seemed to be REEordan but now it's RYEordan.
