[Opinions] Re: Help with an Irish girl name. Please!
in reply to a message by Erin
Thanks for all your help, still! I have crossed names off the list and added a few new ones one, so at least I feel like I'm getting somewhere!
I did add Riona to the list, but am curious about the pronunciation. A few sites have said "ree-in-uh" and a few "ree-ohn-uh", I'm inclined to think it's probably ree-in-uh, though I read it ree-ohn-uh when I first saw it, too. Help?
I had Cara down, but also am curious about the pronunciation. I have been saying car-uh, but have found most sites list it as care-uh. Does it matter? Which is more "Irish"? Same with Tara (which I do like, too)- is it tare-uh or tar-uh?
Thanks a bunch. Perhaps we'll actually find something soon and decide! You all have been more helpful than you can know! More than the 3 books, 2 websites and countless other people I've asked! :)

Riona is pronounced REE-uh-na. Cara and Tara are pronounced CAR-uh and TAR-uh in Ireland. I'd say they'd probably be pronounced CARE-uh and TARE-uh in America?Image hosted by Photobucket.com
