I am Scottish and always loved the name Mhairi (pronounced Vah-ri, like Mairi with a v sound). Am currently thinking of names for dc 2 (not due until January) and suggested this to my partner, who is English - he said he doesn't like it as it sounds like Barry! Also, we live in Yorkshire so am worried it may be pronounced horribly here (think Vurreh), in fact I am not sure whether it works at all unless said in a Scottish accent. Does anyone living in England know anyone called Mhairi, and does it sound ok in various regional English accents? Would appreciate any comments before I saddle my child with a hard to pronounce name!
