[Opinions] Re: Aideen
in reply to a message by Perrine
It's ok, but I prefer Aoibheann (ay-VEEN) for that general sound-feel.
EDIT: I know the pronunciation guide on BtN says EE-van for Aoibheann, but Ireland varies a great deal in its dialects, and my friend who is Irish born & bred, and speaks Irish, has a daughter who is Aoibheann with the ay-VEEN pronunciation.
