Pronounciation problems again...
A friend of mine says that Líadan is pronounced lee-AY-din. A website says it is LEE-ah-din. I prefer the first, but I'm sort of inclined to trust the website more. Which is probably a bad idea, but such is my life.
Does it matter? I don't want to use an incorrect pronounciation, but if, like Sorcha (SUR-a-ka? SOR-ka? SOR-cha? SUR-a-cha? SNORF?), no one seems to agree on pronounciation, I guess it wouldn't matter too much.

I trust Katie Doyle's website for giving the correct pronunciation of Irish names. Here are your links to Líadan and Sorcha:
