[Opinions] Re: Eithne...
I don't care for the EN-ya or EN-a pronunciation and was disappointed to find out that was the "proper" way to say it. The first time I heard it was also in the movie "The Four Feathers" and I loved it, pronounced "ETH-nee" or "ETH-nah". I thought maybe they were 2 different names but they appear to be spelled the same way. Hmm. Maybe it evolved into having a different pron.?

Ok, I was wrong...Just looked up "The Four Feathers" on imdb.com and found out Kate Hudson's character's name was spelled Ethne. On this site, it says it's a variant of Eithne but doesn't give a pronunciation. So maybe Ethne is pronounced "ETH-nee." Sorry to ramble on about it...:)
