[Opinions] Re: Scottish surnames for boys? Like any?
It's pronounced, Nay-earn (not Nair-in) - one syllable though, not two. Though I knew an American who saw it on a map (its also a town in Scotland) and thought it was finny cos she couldn't say it at all! She said Nyern.

In that case, I'd say yes it's too difficult to pronounce for non-Scots.
