How would one pronounce the feminine Irish name Aine (with an accent over the "A")? Thank you.

The accented 'a' is pronounced like the 'o' in 'bother' + w + the 'e' in 'me.'
The 'm' is the same as in English.
The 'e' is pronounced as the 'eigh' in 'neigh,' but a little shorter, without the 'ee' sound at the end.
We are now no longer the Knights Who Say "Ni!" We are now the Knights Who Say "Ekke, Ekke, Ekke, Ekke, Ptang, Zoo Boing!"
