Help[Opinions] Re: Thomas, Peter and Rórdán
in reply to a message by LittleWolf
Would Riordan be a problem in the States? Reer-d'n? And, if people ask about the pronunciation of Ruairi and are told that 'it's like Rory", surely that problem would go away? I don't like dumbing down, especially if there isn't a clear, definite reason for it, not just a fear or suspicion.

I think Riordan is a common enough last name that it should be recognizable. I don't love the "rear" as much as "roar" though. But it is an option.
And you're right it is easy to correct. And in a world where people make up crazy spellings for no reason it is silly of me to bat an eye over a legitimate spelling.
