Did I mis-hear?

[MyNameHasBeenTaken]

My dd was playing in the park with another little girl.
Her adult called her "irania " never heard that as a name before
Said exactly like Iranian, for a person who comes from Iran

Ih-rain-ee-ah
Have I mis-heard a name? Or is it a name I have not come across before?

Sorry, missed a bit.
Iranian, but without the n on the end

Right...?

Maybe it wasn't her parent and they struggled to pronounce irina

I've never heard that name either

Ireña? Spanish?
Would be pronounced Ee-rain-ya or ih-rain-ya.

Arani or Arania is an Indian name - could it be that? Its pronunciation is similar to your description

Had to google it. But it is a girl’s name

You probably heard Rania.

I regulalry come across names I've not heard before meeting that person.
Not sure what your question is.
Why do you think you mis-heard ?

I don't get the problem?

I don't rule out anything when it comes to names. I had similar last week as I heard a name as Ariana and after a few times I realised that the little girls name was Ivy-Anna.

It’s quite nice.

No problem.
Trying to work out the little girl's name.
She was a lovely kid, played with dd for ages .
Don't want to look a total muppet asking around for "irania" if her name is likely to be something different.

If her name has a lot of vowels then I'm sure they're used to having it mispronounced...

Aurelia, but with a cold?

Oops just realised I posted on the wrong thread! Makes me look like I was having a go at you when I wasn't. Sorry!

I also thought Ireña.

I work with an Ireña (Ih rai nyah)

That is so pretty I may steal it for my list
