I keep hearing Nach eil as "da na!" Can't hear the "N" at all.

"Ruaraidh" is rejected as an incorrect spelling, but it is in fact used; it can be found in Am Faclair Beag: Ruaraidh /Ruərɪ/ fir. neo-ath. Roderick, Rory

Nach eil Ruairidh Rudy?

I think "Roddy" and perhaps "Rory" are shortenings of Roderick, where "Rudy" is most commonly a shortening of Rudolph (which i haven't encountered here, yet)
