You are correct in saying the correct pronunciation is Air-inn (or at least something very close to it).The name you refer to in the second portion of your posting is Aodh and is pronounced as as you stated. Definitely never Nee-am though.The universal pronunciation of Cáitlín as Katelyn does drive me mad though, couldn’t use that name now…Thank you so much Daffyd. !I also have an Aunt called Dervla and another Aunt called Vonla, and I don’t doubt that they have had the same problems with their names.Deirdre, I had that same feeling. ), but decided to call my daughter Tara, or opposed to my favourite name ever, Niamh, to save her the trouble I have had!! These names are really hard to pronounce but they really are nice to the ears when pronounced correctly. Thanks!
However, he’s only 4 and is constantly having to shout out ‘it’s Kee-an! Do I understand correctly that it should be pronounced cat-leen? There is no WAY that Seamus should be pronounced ‘Seemis’! Get quite a lot of Seamus’s over here in the Celtic lands ;)Also with Niamh and Sean, they are definitely Neeve and Shawn. You can write it and complain about it all you want, but most of the time, we’ll probably still not get it exactly to your liking because of the way we learned to speak.
And how would they be pronounced?Finally, my name is “Kathleen”. For example, we could name a character “Madb” or give them the name “Mave” to make sure players know the correct way to pronounce the name. I’ve heard Mah-RAY, Mair-EE, and MAIR as contenders. However, I’m not 100% on the pronunciation!The correct pronunciation for Áine is “Awn-ya”. My mom always said she spelled it a French way, whether that is true or not I still don’t know. She also started her own blog entitled, ‘That Ginger Chick’, which focuses on all things fashion, travel, beauty and lifestyle.Famous characters that are named Aoife include Aoife in Michael Scott’s series ‘The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel’So, there you have it! The name is typically spelt A-O-I-F-E; however, it can also be spelt Aífe or Aeife.Although unrelated to the Biblical name Eva, the Irish name Aoife has also been anglicised as Eva or Eve. The problems came when the proofreader asked the dreaded “How do you pronounce this?” leaving me with the problem of do I keep the names or use their anglicized spelling. For example caitlín is pronounced as katleen, while cáitlín is kaw-th-leen.Bear in mind this is for Munster irish and as people have said it changes depending where you are in Ireland. (Ha!) Also, somebody mentioned the name Ciannait and it is pronounced like “key-ah-nit”. It feels more like trying to learn Russian or Chinese than French or Spanish. But how about Pádraigín? I named my daughter Megan, and am astounded at how often people get it wrong.
I don’t know how differently it’s pronounced in Ireland. Caitlín, of course, is pronounced Catchleen in Irish, and is the original Irish version of Kathleen. Mhairi/Mairi – ma-ri. (Both times I saw were for baby boys.
It’s all quite soft.If you say EE-FA in a harsh way you lose the whole Irishness of the name and its place in the Irish language. I like names from different languages and are traditional to that culture/country. It annoys me that some people e.g. It has been traditionally Anglicized as Hugh.Thank you, Frank, for always posting such helpful comments. The way I learned was a good 20 years ago this stage.If I can help with any other pronunciations let me know.This is great.Please do update more. I actually like fway lawn better but I want to get it correct.Gin – Rionadh is pronounced Ree-on-ah (on as in opposite of off – sorry just trying to give you easiest way to say it!)Yay! Eithne is a different name meaning “Kernal”. People are taught to read phonetically and are not born with an innate ability to pronounce words from a foreign lexicon. Rois is Irish for rose, and the -in at the end of a name gives it a diminutive form. it means “clever”, and is pronounced “Cass-ee” like Cassie.And for the people spelling and/or pronouncing Aoífe incorrectly : it is my name, and it’s pronounced “Ee-fah” not “ee-feh” thats just how common people say it- trust me, i know this as i live in dublin.can i just clear up padraig is not PAD-RAG its PAW-rag (like an animals paw) and if the name is padraic then its PAW-rakI’ve had some trouble with the name Liadan, which I LOVE, but can never settle on the correct pronunciation. I found this because I was searching for pronunciation of Eitne, which I have found is either eth-nee, eth-na, en-ya, ath-na, an-ya.
It seems it’s opinion on what they think it should sound like but not necessarily correct to where the name is from.So how do you pronounce CALLUM? and want as much historical accuracy as possible, go for the Irish spellings.Do whatever you think your ideal player would prefer.I found this little jewel in the official Irish name statistics for girls:show-DEEN is the Ulster dialect pronunciation. This certainly helps me :-)I love Irish & Welsh names & would like to name my children all Irish, Welsh or Scottish names. Or if it’s pronounced completely differently!I have to say I try my hardest to pronounce the beautiful Irish names correctly (which is why I check out sites for pronunciation, for my job).My names Aoife but I live in England ad people are aaaalways getting my name wrong and it annoys me sooo much but I have learnt to deal with it and be polite and say it with the correct pronunciation now xMost people can get my name once I explain it the first time, but my sister’s name is Eilis, and everyone gets it wrong.
On naming the characters, there will likely not be recorded dialogue for the characters, but instead text boxes that open up above the characters. I’m pretty sure she’ll be the only Rauri/Rory in her class and that’s all that mattered to me. The “gh” is silent, but I think a “ch” makes it a guttural sound at the end like a “k” sound.Brighid there is also a name Bríd, which is pronounced Breed so that could be another pronunciation of your name since “gh” in Irish is usually silent.Stiobhan I think it pronounced Shteevawn. If you put it phonetically with an O as in O-sheen people think it’s pronounced like an o sound as in Ocean, but it’s not. Charlotte – shar-lot. My sisters are Dearbhaile (Dervla) & Aoife (eefa.I was born in the 80s & raised in London and people constantly were baffled by my name & pronounced it key-o-me (still do) however it makes me laugh when i read on baby blogs that a child would be scarred for life with an unusual name etc.. I am 14 years old :) xWe wanted to go with an Irish name for our little one when she arrives. I read up about him further into my book and it did mention that that is an alternative name for him.
