How do you pronounce this surname please?

[Debbit]

Geoghegan :)

Thank you.

I grew up in Ireland and would have pronounced this gee-gan

Not so in Ireland Bosch.
No emphasis on the 'sella' and 'tello'.

Gay gun, but quite quick together. Not as two separate words.

Omg gee o gee ghan
I’m wrong went I

Kinsella. Wow

I used to work with someone whose surname was COST -ill-oh
the emphasis was on the first syllable. (yes they were Irish descent).

Goh-gun - might be accent dependant, that’s from Kerry family

@roisinagusniamh I grew up in Ireland, it was a surprise to me when I moved to the UK!

I know! I always pronounce Elvis Costello's name the 'correct' way and it annoys my husband no end!!

My friend's family are from Wicklow, and they say Gay gan.

Gee gan

Thanks for further replies. I find it really interesting to hear the difference in regional pronunciations.

Why are people who clearly have no idea how to pronounce Irish surnames replying to this?

OP, chiming in with the better informed posters, it’s GAY-gun. Second syllable is a schwa.

(It’s invariably KIN-sella and COS-tello in my neck of the woods.)

Gay-gun
COS-tello
KIN-sella

I've got an Irish surname. No one pronounces it properly in England. Even if people hear me saying it, they'll convert it to the standard English mispronunciation and continue with that indefinitely. My (arsehole) ex did it for a whole decade, and probably still does.

I'm resigned to it generally.
