Do you like Eithne? It's from Irish mythology. At the moment thinking about adding it to my list but not sure.

Do you know how it is pronounced exactly?

I found everywhere that it's like Enya but want to make extra sure because Eithne looks like it would be slightly different to me?

Is Enya better?

Eithne is pronounced Eth-na where I'm from in Ireland.

I believe Eithne is pronounced Enya in Donegal.

But I've known a lot of (non-Ulster) Eithnes over the years and they've all pronounced their name as eth-nah.
