How would you pronounce this name please?
I am a non native English speaker so would like to double check how most people may pronounce it. I am not sure if I should go for Zaynab or Zeynab but i want it to sound an “ey” as in elephant? If that makes sense? Thanks so much

I'd probably say both of them the same but not with the sound you want at the start.

I'd say Zay (rhyme with Ray)- nab

Same here. I just can’t seem to get my accent to say it with a Eh sound. Maybe if I were to hear it, but I don’t think I would naturally say it that way from a written name, regardless of the spelling. Sorry!

The ones I've known pronounced it ZAYnab with the first syllable rhyming with 'hay' or 'play'...?
