ArchivesCould you help with the pronunciations of some Irish and Scottish Gaelic names, please?
I have listened to so many pronunciations on the internet (I tried to get those from Scottish or Irish people) but I'm still not quite sure:
Aileen - I heard it pronounced by quite a few Scottish people and it seems to be AY-leen, is this correct? Would the Irish pronunciation be the same?
Ailís - because of the í I thought this should be AY-leesh. However, I have listened to countless pronunciations on the internet by Scottish and Irish people and they all very clearly say AY-lish. Does anyone know?
Aisling - I listened to quite a few people say it and it sounded like ASH-ling to me, but on this site it says ASH-lyen. However, I definitely heard the G in all of the pronunciations.
Aoibheann - how is this pronounced? And does Aoibhinn sound different? What about Aoibhin?
Eilidh - is this actually AY-lee (same as Hayley without the H) or does it sound more like EH-lee but with a long EH sound, not a short one? I heard it both ways.
