ArchivesRe: about the name Brían
in reply to a message by Profesor Esteban Giménez
I didn't see the awards, but I assume you are talking about Brian O'Byrne.
He is Irish, and he does go by the name Brían with an accent & pronounced [BREE-uhn].
Typically, the name Brian is written without the accent and pronounced [BREE-uhn] in Gaelic and [BRIE-en] in English, even in Hiberno-English. I believe the accent is used by Mr. O'Byrne to force the [BREE-uhn] pronunciation among English speakers.
