I'm due in the next two weeks with baby number three, no idea if its a boy or a girl but if its a boy we really like the name Cabhan. We would pronounce it Cav-an, but I have heard it pronounced Cav-aughn. Either way we quite like both pronunciations but due to our northern accent we'll probably end up using the first way.
The concerns I have are that, its not a readily used Irish name ( i.e. I'm calling my child a random word that's not really a name - I am aware it means grassy hill/hollow) or that in Ireland it might be pronounced Kevin!!
Help, advise, opinions please
FYI ds has a slightly unusual name of German origin and dd has an Irish name, both often get pronounced wrong so that really doesn't worry me :)
