To think no one would pronounce this name right

[eastereggg]

How would you pronounce the 'name' Eieoie?

Eye ee o ee

IOU

Ay oh we

I wouldn't without asking, wouldn't even try.

Irish names are, for the most part, spelt pretty phonetically. As with all other languages, Irish phonetics are not the same as English phonetics so I have no idea why you would expect Irish words or names to be pronounced according to English phonetics. Would you say the same for an Italian or German word/name?

Eye-oh-ee. After some thought. I admit my first instinct was no idea followed by thoughts about Old MacDonald e i e i o. That's a thought I'd keep to myself if I met a person with that name though. If I were a teacher I'd ask to make sure I got it right.

Ee-oh-ee?

Would be a complete guess.

Yes, you are correct.

I don’t like the threads where people take the piss out of various “unpronounceable” foreign names and/or variant spellings, but I do not believe that is an actual name that any child has ever been given.

It is either Old MacDonald, or a bad Scrabble hand.

Ey-o-ee?

Ee-ooh-ee. But honestly I'd ask or Google.

Eee eye eee eye oh

Probably wouldn't bother even trying. Just give them a swerve. 😂

Agree with this. Welsh is much the same, in being a pretty phonetic language, but English speakers seem to expect Irish/Welsh phonics to mirror English phonics, which they do not. Because they are their own languages.

I have no grasp of the Irish language but do broadly speaking understand how to pronounce a lot of Irish names. Mostly by working out the phonics in names so I get that certain letters together make particular sounds etc.

Like i was yodeling

For those wondering, according to what I found on Google, it's pronounced Ay-oi-uh.

Evie? As in eeee veee

“The wee lass with all the vowels”

This!!! There’s no V or K for example used in the Irish language so these sounds are pronounced using other letters. V would be BH or MH for example. That other post implies that there’s something wrong with the spelling of those names when infact. Nope they’re Irish names derived from the Irish alphabet

Cackling at this 🤣
My first thought was EE I EE I OH, as well!

Old McDonald had a farm…

On the OP I would say IOE

I'd ask
