HelpRe: Ailish
in reply to a message by Shannon
I've seen Ailis, Ailish, Eilis, and Eilish and I'm not positive how any of them are pronounced (or maybe there are multiple possibilities), as I've heard AY-lish and EYE-lish for both. I like the Ailis and Eilis spellings best and slightly prefer the EYE-lish spelling, but I worry it sounds too much like 'eyelash'. :-/ And AY-lish sounds kind of like you're describing someone who's sick a lot (they ail, so they're 'ail-ish' lol).
ETA: Just clicked on Ailis, and I'd forgotten about the -leesh pronunciation. That just makes me think of leashes for dogs, unfortunately. I guess it mainly depends on where you live, though.... (i.e. the U.K. vs. the U.S., etc.).
