Help[Opinions] Gawain
I usually hear it pronounced gah-WAYN, but a lot of my professors pronounce it GAH-win. I just wondered how everyone else pronounces it.
ETA: GAH-win seems to make more sense, considering Gavin is a derivation. I'm still having a hard time retraining myself to say it that way.

I'm not a native speaker, so I don't know the correct pronounciation, but I love the name if pronounced gah-WAYN. The other pronounciation might be correct, but like you, I think I would really have to become familiar with this one first...

gah-WAYN for me. Though I think it is common for it to be pronounced GAH-wayn.

Hi Gavin
:)
I realise you're new here, so it's understandable, but one of the rules on this message board is that all posters keep the same posting name, unless they announce a change.
Hope you're enjoying the boards!
