ArchivesAine - a pronounciation, spelling question
Ha ha, I noticed another Alyson posting who spells like me! Weird. For clarity's sake, I'll post as Dixie Alyson.
ANYWAY, I was asking about the name Aine on the other board, but I do have a pronounciation question. Someone told me that as Aine, it was awn-ya, whereas Russian Anya was Ahn-ya. So I said these outloud a few times and I was pretty stumped as to how these are different. I would use Aine, but I had always just said it AHN-ya. Am I saying it wrong?
Also, should we spell it with the accent on the first syllable in the legal spelling or just not worry about using the accent in the speling? Is using it just ASKING for trouble or would we be spelling in incorrectly if we DIDN'T?
Thanks in advance, all.
