Ethne pronunciation?

[CityFox]

Is it Eth-nee? I know it's a Gaelic name and so possibly not said the way it looks in English.

I know loads of people called Eithne and I've only ever heard it pronounced as Eth-na/Et-na (depending on accent) although I believe in the north then sometimes say enya.

Never, ever, ever eth-nee or eth-nay.

Yeah, Eithne, said Eth-neh

I don think I know any though (am Irish too).

Yes the Eth-na/neh/nuh pronunciations all sound basically the same.

Eth-nee is wrong.

I've only ever come across Eth-na/nuh (in Northern Ireland) all old ladies. It's quite old lady chic though, maybe due a come back?

I would say it: Eth-nee

I think Ethne and Eithne are really different names.

I know an English Ethne in her thirties and she is universally called Eth-nee.

Eth-nee may be 'wrong' but like I said earlier, my mil is Irish back to the 1630's, and her parents and grandparents never left Ireland in their lives, and she is an Eth-nee.

1630s?

That's what's known as a blow in.
