HelpThe Guinness Family
I’m reading a book about the Mitford sisters and as I was looking up Diana’s first husband, Bryan Guineas, I found a list of his children from his second marriage. I thought you would enjoy the list!

Hon. Fiona Evelyn Guinness
Hon. Dr. Finn Benjamin Guinness
Hon. Thomasin Margaret Guinness
Hon. Kieran Arthur Guinness
Hon. Catriona Rose Guinness

Erskine is interesting. Would you pronounce it U-skin? Have you seen it IRL before? I wonder why he's the only one with 3 names.
I like Diarmid plus Kieran Arthur, Catriona Rose, and Mirabel Jane (the individual combos and as a set).
I don't usually like Thomasin but think it's nice in this set and in that combo for some reason. Fiona, Richard, and Rosaleen are also nice (individually and in a set). Edward, Elisabeth, and Evelyn are alright but the most boring to me.
They're ok separately, but I don't like Finn Benjamin as a combo or Finn and Fiona in the same sibset. I dislike Stuart.

Erskine is a place name first name and also a Scottish surname. Erskine is on Scotland’s west coast not far from Glasgow. It can be pronounced either errs-KIN or urs-KIN depending on the Scottish accent. errs-KIN pronounced more like airs-KIN is the one I hear most often.
errs pronounced in the same way is also a derogatory Scottish term for ones backside

Do you know why BtN would say the British pronunciation is U-skin?
I have no idea but I live in Scotland around 60 miles from Erskine. My father is Scottish and from the west coast and my husband has lived in Scotland his whole life so I can guarantee my pronunciation.
Thomasin Margaret and Mirabel Jane are perfect for sisters!
