[Facts] Name pronunciation
Does anyone know how you pronounce the surname Fairbairn? Is it like Fairburn or do you say the "bairn" part like air? Any help is appreciated, thank you!

This page (http://www.forvo.com/word/fairbairn/) has an Englishman saying it like Fairburn. This guy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDGHKyB3T_U) says it with 'air' sound though. This guy though (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd421fLcnSA) also says it like Fairburn. That seems to be the most common pronunciation.
