Re: What's your opinion on the traditional spellings of Irish names?
in reply to a message by ash
I think I'm starting to learn how they are pronounced and I've learnt that Caoimhe is not pronounced like Naomi with a C ;) But it takes time and it's hard to know how some of the longer names are suppose to be pronounced.
I wouldn't be irritated if there were Irish names in a story. I like names that are different and it wouldn't destroy the story. After all I thought Hermione was pronounced her-mee-oh-nee when I started to read Harry Potter *blushes*.
A pronunciation guide is a good idea but not necessary at all.
