[Opinions] Re: Aisake and Tiernay
in reply to a message by Array
Aisake is the name of an Aussie Rules footballer who was invited to play Australia after his older brother Setanta made the switch from Irish Gaelic style football to AFL. I read somewhere that his name is not Irish, but in fact Fijian which is his mothers nationality. I havent the slightest how to pronounce it either, but it looks nice written.

I've heard Aisake's name on Irish TV, they pronounce it EYE-zak-ee, like Isaac with an ee sound at the end. It's definitely not Irish, anyway.

Well, since I'm not at all Aussie, I'm afraid I can't help you there, lol. It does look nice, but I see romanized Japanese--the words "ai" ("love") and "sake" (as I said before, an alcoholic drink). So I have an image of a drunk guy, first and foremost! :DArray
