HelpRe: Aine
in reply to a message by Lily
1) How do you pronounce Aine? AWN-yuh. The first syllable is like the word "on". That's how my Irish friend Aine pronounces it.
2) How do you pronounce Anya? AN-yuh. The first syllable is like "an" or Anne.
3) Do you think Aine would be too complicated in the US? Since I live in the UK I don't really know. I'd imagine it depends how on many Irish people live in that area and how familiar they are with Irish names (beside anglicised ones like Kevin). Here in the UK there's quite a strong Irish influence so the pronunciation of names like Siobhan and Niamh don't faze me.
4) Caoimhe or Aine? Caoimhe (KEE-vuh). I think it sounds more attractive.
