You added a vowel/syllable - is this to emphasize your preferred nn: Rory?

Riordan is pronounced REAR-dan in English and more traditionally RAY-ohr-dan in Irish. The first syllable is "RAY-ohr" -- kind of flows together.

RAY-ohr-dan ... ohr like in more

I love REAR-dan (that is how I pronounce it in my fav combo - Riordan Grey)
I just like ir ROAR-i-dan in some combos.

I also didnt know it could be pronounced RAY-ohr-dan. I kind of like that. THANKS!

Yeah, I like this pronunciation better, too, but unless you're in Ireland, you probably won't get too many people to say it this way.
