OH  MY GOSH IT'S SO COLD.

I need to put on the heat, shower, find clothes (it would possibly be an idea to find them before I shower), and force a member of my family to drive me to see David O'Doherty.

Where does the name Doherty originate from? It irritates me when people say it "Dock-er-ty" in the same way that it's Dylan MOR-an, not Dylan Mor-AN

No, our way is correct. Unless you are saying their name in an irish gaelic sentence. I have decided.

Fact. we live in london our word is law.

Surely it depends on the person themselves. I had a friend at school called Becky Doherty (Dough-er-ty), but Pete calls himself Doherty (Dockerty) right?
As for Dylan, I called him MoRAN for ages because the announcer on the television always pronounced it that way. I know better now.

Also, I'm going to see David O'Doherty too :)

As far as I know (and since I;m Irish I know quite a bit.) its DoHERty and MORan, I think the other ways the English came up with to try and sound... er... like they were English names. Anyway its bloody annoying to hear.

I is Irish too, I was just wondering where the names themselves originated from. I know the people who have them are Irish but I'm not sure they're originally Irish. They sound it though.

I don't know where in Ireland their from, I'd say their Norman by origin, not celtic, at least Moran. O'Doherty could be celtic becuase of the O', that tends to be in older irish names.
