I've always loved it pronounced the "incorrect" way. I just love ROW-nin (like Conan). I think it's beautiful and, I don't know how to describe it... woody, perhaps. It's almost got a mahogany feel. And I love it.

I wouldn't say that "ROW-nin" is incorrect. BtN, while very authoritative, isn't fool-proof. Speranza is from Ireland, as is my mother. They both pronounce it the same way you do.

Well yay, then! Yeah, I love the row-nin pronunciation. I find it extraordinarily handsome.

My mother is from County Cork, Ireland, and she says, "ROH-nun." That's what my brother would have been called had he (we) been born there. When said with the soft Gaelic "r" it's so handsome.Sometimes different parts of Ireland pronounce names / words differently. So I can't say for sure this is how the entire country says it. For what it's worth, I live in the U.S. and I'd say, "ROH-nun" too.

Ronán would be Ro-nawn. The accent mark lengthens it.Ronan is Ro-nan.
