What does Maghouin Beg mean?

When I first started using the internet (in the days before the Web), I was given the name 'babybear'.  This name stuck with me for years, and to many, this is how they knew me.

Later,  I joined Ravelry   I found that 'my' name had already been taken!  What on earth was I going to call myself?  I had been learning Welsh, and so I became 'arthbach' (lit) little bear.  Today, when trying to create a blog, I find that 'babybear' and 'arthbach' have both been taken.  But... I have just started learning Manx.  Can you guess what 'maghouin beg' means?  Yup, you guessed, I am now 'little bear' in Manx.
