Cliodhnadh - How to pronounce?

[Laladog]

My preg sister is thinking about this name? I have no clue how to say this name. I'm not trying to be rude or disrespectful in any way as I love Irish names but I'm not sure how you would say this. Can anyone help?

Do you mean Cliodhna?

I thought that's what she meant, but she specifically said Cliodhnadh

If she said that then she will have pronounced it! So how come you don't know how it's said?

That's an unusual spelling, but presuming it's the same as Cliodhna then it's pronounced KLEE-uh-nuh.

CliO-na (emphasis on O)
A bit like the car basically

There can be two ways to say it, there is CLEE-ona or Clee-OH-na. I have mostly heard the second version.

Clean-ah.

Is it pronounced Clee-oh-nah? There's a little girl at our baby music with that name I think

Klee-uh-nuh

Although her spelling looks kreative to me, have only ever seen it spelt Clíona or Clíonadh

Clíodhna that should have spelt!

In my experience Klee-nah in the Republic of Ireland and Klee-oh-nah in Northern Ireland.

Clain ah is how we say it. But I have heard cleona too.

@Wolfiefan she text it to me. She lives in Scotland and I live in Wales atm. I asked her how it was pronounced but she hasn't got back to me.

I've never heard it pronounced Klee-O-na though

Aha her spelling does look more like Scottish Gaelic.

Im in Republic of Ireland and it is clee-nah here

I've only ever heard Clee OH na, but I'm from the North.

KLEE (uh) na is how the cliodhna I know pronounces it. (Middle 'uh' very subtle ... sounds a bit too much like 'cleaner' for me to really like this name.)

I do like the name if it's Klee o na, I was just confused by the spelling, as I've heard of Cliodhna, just not Cliodhnadh.

Can it actually be spelled Cliodhnadh?

Klee-nah, Klee uh nah or Klee o nah depending where you are and how you wish the name to be pronounced at birth. It's a pretty name. I have never seen the spelling Cliodhnadh but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist of course. It's a very interesting spelling lol bit it's pretty regardless. Congrats to your sister xx

Possibly. I know that in Scottish Gaelic words often end in adh that end in a when written in Irish.

Google it. If it doesn't throw up any results then it's probably not legit.

After a quick googly, it is a legit spelling, but it's not very common at all, googly even corrects me on it as Cliodhna xx

Can it actually be spelled Cliodhnadh?

Yes, its the old spelling. Aisling Bea's middle name!

Oh yes I forgot that! She mentioned it on an 8 out of 10 cats episode i believe xx
