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?

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

Stayed on a farm in Co. Tipperary and one of the lovely family's name was pronounced like that and spelled Cliodhnadh.

KLEE uh nuh.
Legitimate spelling.

I think simple old Cliona looks nicer.

Lovely name but she's going to get a shock in reception when she has to learn to spell it!lol x

Assuming you (and therefore your sister) aren't Irish, why would she deliberately choose the most obscure and most difficult spelling of the name? Cliona would be a lovely name.

@Bridgetreilly our whole family is Irish including our parents. We were born in Scotland however but we lived in Ireland for about 9 years. I live in Wales now and she is in Scotland. I have a dodgy Scottish/Irish/Welsh mixed accent now.
