Ingrid or Eira for a baby girl in the UK?

From a quick search, OP is in the UK but spends time in Sweden and says it as Ey-rah. I'd pick Ingrid because I like it and I think it's a lot easier.

The problem with Eira is it is a Welsh name and a Swedish(?) name and even the Welsh can't agree how it is pronounced throughout Wales
Welsh is phonetic and there is a standard Welsh pronunciation - it's a regular word meaning snow.

The non-agreement is because in a certain area the local pronunciation differs, plus the name is not easy to say if you don't speak Welsh.
Basically Eira is either pronounced like the Welsh word for snow, (roughly but not quite Eyra), or Eye-ra, which is the anglicised version or a very specific regional pronunciation.

I know two Eira's living in England. One is 19 and the other is 5. Neither seem to have an issue telling people how to say it - one has Welsh parents, the other has no Welsh connection.

I'm Welsh, so know how to pronounce it. Are you Welsh? Living in Wales? It's a lovely name, but she would need to tell people how to pronounce it.

I like Ingrid though I thought it was a bit old fashioned, though perhaps it's so old fashioned it's now cool?

The problem with Eira is it is a Welsh name and a Swedish(?) name and even the Welsh can't agree how it is pronounced throughout Wales which I believe can also be different to the Scandinavian (not sure if that is the right word) pronunciation. I also only know ladies about 80+ with this name in Wales though perhaps it has also become so old it is fashionable again? It does get mentioned on here a lot.

I do actually like both but would go Ingrid for ease.

I wouldn't know how to pronounce Eira. Eee-ra? Ira? Ayra?

On that basis - Ingrid would be less problematic!
