Assuming "DeDra" is a "creative" spelling of "Déirdre," that's how you'd spell it. If it isn't intended to be "Déirdre," then it doesn't have an Irish form. "Louise" doesn't have an Irish form at all, and "Carter" is an English surname. And no..."Beannaithe Bi" doesn't mean "blessed be." Wiccanese doesn't really translate into Irish. Probably the closest you can get is "beannachtaí": "blessings." Redwolf |

According to An Sloinnteoir Gaeilge , Deirdre is the same in English and Irish. Labhaoise is given for Louisa, the closest form of Louise. He also gives Mac Artúir for Carter.

You may not be wiccan, but "blessed be" is still "wiccanese." It's one of many obscure phrases coined by the man who invented the wiccan religion in the 1950s...none of which really translates well (most likely because, even in English, they don't make a lot of sense)

Technically, properly defined, it's someone who is neither Christian, Jewish nor Muslim. The "in" thing today is to use it specifically to refer to someone who adheres to some variation (real or imagined) of pre-Christian European polytheism (occasionally with a dose of North American Indian shamanism), but in reality, the term also includes Hindus, Buddhists and Shintoists.
