Re: Aine

Aine and Anya are both great. My Irish family pronounces Aine with a definite "ah" sound at the beginning, "AHN-yuh." My Russian professors taught us to use something between an "ah" and an "a" sound. It's difficult to describe. The short "a" sound is closer to the way a Brit would say it than a nasaly New Yorker (I'm married to one so I can say that). :-) Another one you might like is Anja. Just to make this more difficult. Caoimhe and Aine would make a fabulous pair. Perhaps there may be spelling difficulties outside of Ireland. It's up to you how much it is worth it. My sister used Siobhan as a mn and is glad. (Clare Siobhan).
