Help[Opinions] Eithne...
the post about Eithne got me thinking. I just remembered the Eithne I know... Except it's pronounced incorrectly according to the site.
She's got it as Eth-nee... Which I actually really like, in pronunciation, but it now doesn't seem to exist.
I actually like the EN-a pronunciation as well, I think it's pretty, but I don't like it as much as the first. *sigh*
Anyone know of any names similar in pronunciation with the first (that actually exist...)

I don't care for the EN-ya or EN-a pronunciation and was disappointed to find out that was the "proper" way to say it. The first time I heard it was also in the movie "The Four Feathers" and I loved it, pronounced "ETH-nee" or "ETH-nah". I thought maybe they were 2 different names but they appear to be spelled the same way. Hmm. Maybe it evolved into having a different pron.?

Finally! someone else who knows the other pronounciation
That is a real name and a real pronounciation, I found out that it was common in the early 1900's - 1920's among upper class Europeans. It is also used in the movie The Four Feathers (with Heath Ledger and Kate Hudson) I love Eithne with the Eth-nee pronounciation, i'm really glad some one else knows about it!
