How would you pronounce this name ???

[queenasanti3]

Hi
I know myself how I would be pronouncing it if I was to choose this name but was just wondering how others would pronounce it,
Ok so it would be used if I was to have a boy:
it is Ephan.

And I'd pronounce Elena as ell-ay-na

Pronouncing Bible names such as Ephah can be a challenge it is pronounced as Ee-fan

I would pronounce it like Ethan but with an F sound.

And if I heard someone call it out loud I would assume it was Ethan said with a crap accent.

'I found it on a baby name site' to names = 'I read it on wikipedia' to facts

Showy, Showy I need you on my other fred please. In Chat. It's about Naarch. Ta.

"an just to throw another name in the mix how about Sean/Shaun like I say just more examples of variation. "

No. Shaun is an anglicisation of the Irish name. They are pronounced the same.

OP- how would you pronounce/spell birthday?

OP- Bear in mind that the fact that you would pronounce the names the same doesn't mean everyone else will, or that your child will as a teen/adult.

If you go with Ethan, the majority of people will say E-than. If you go with Ephan, the majority of people will say ee-fan. You need to think about how you want the name to sound more generally, not just how your accent will make it sound.

I prefer Ethan TBH.

The Elena's I know are E-len-a. I think it depends whether you take it from the Spanish or the Greek though.

i would pronounce it birthde, but would spell it birthday as thats how I was taught to spell it your all probably trying to guess where about iam from with mt accent.
oh you are so easy to wind up, yeah all soooo serious

iam taking all all these names with a pinch of salt as I do with those found in books too just thought I would get other people's views, just didn't realise" how offened" people are over other peoples names, as to me a name is just a name doesnt make a person who they are, as I wouldn't judge anyone by their name and most importantly how irs spelt its totally irrelevant to me.

if you worked where I do, I come across some strange and wonderful names daily, think you would have a breakdown by the end of the week

there was someone from Greece and it was pronounce - Eh-lane-a

With the OP how about Ephram?

Eff-in like Stefan.

What about Yfan? Isn't there a Welsh version?
