Re: Maurice
in reply to a message by Bear
I pronounce Maurice like "more-EES." It definitely doesn't come out like "muh-REES." I'm from the Midwest (Illinois).
I like Maurice well enough, but it's not a favorite. It's the name of a clothing store around here so it reminds me of that a bit.
I like the look of Muiris but not the sound.
ETA: It doesn't make sense to me pronouncing Maurice like Morris either. Why not just use Morris then?

Yes, Muiris is not for everyone. But I'm glad you like his looks. :-)
Thanks for the feedback. It's much appreciated. And sorry for not getting back to you until this morning. Lovely pictures, by the way.
