For pronunciation, how about Sinai? OK, it's a desert; but in
UK and SA English,
Isaiah is eyeZEYEa and in the States I think eyeZAYa; dunno which way you jump in Canada!
We say nayOHmi here, but then we also say CLAHra - Afrikaans is a link to Dutch,
German etc pronunciations and when I met my first CLAIRa I nearly tipped over. Her parents explained that they couldn't choose between
Clare and
Sarah, so they did a merger. They were British, fwiw.
