HelpThanks again
in reply to a message by Aileen
Thank you again Aileen. You are giving me a great education in pronouncing words today. I love to learn new things so I really appreciate it. I especially like the Aoife pronunciation. I had no idea how to say that and I think it would be very embarrassing if I told you how I said it :)

Believe me, I was clueless when I came too
I used to really love Irish names (I still like them, but my style is more Eastern European now), and when I just started spending a lot of time on BtN I researched a lot of Irish names. When I discovered Caoilfhionn I was horrified. Seriously, the name looks nuts! But you'd never believe that it's simply pronounced "KEE-lin", which is really quite nice. You get used to it after a while. Mind, I've been here forever, but eventually wild-looking names won't be such a shock to you because you will recognize some etymological roots within the names.
