I found some Irish names that I'm having trouble pronouncing. Does anyone know how these names are pronounced?
Eanáir
Samhain
Nollaig

Also...

Samhain isn't exactly a name, but a Pagan holiday:

Eanáir - Ann-AR
Samhain - Sow-WAN
Nollaig - Null-UG

Neither Eanáir or Samhain are used as names in Ireland. Nollaig is used for male and females and translates as Noel/Noelle. It's rare and out-dated though.
