Aoibhinn

[suzettenoisette]

How is Aoibhinn pronounced correctly?

I think it looks very pretty.

We are not considering it as DD will be Eva Marie, just curious.

Eve-inn

Is that the same name as my great-great-great grandma Abhine? A as in cat, then 'veen' rhymes with queen. Not offended if I'm wrong.

Aha, an 'Ee' sound. Thanks!

Ee-veen.

There are slight differences though depending on region/dialect.

I'd pronounce it as Even

It's pronounced 'ay-veen' 😊

The one I know is Ay-Veen. Lovely name!

Nah. Aoi is always an EE sound

I have no doubt there’s an Aoibhinn out there who pronounces it that way but it's incorrect, even allowing for regional accent variations.

It really isn’t.

Aoibh = Eve

Evinn without the fada.

Eveen with the fada

I know it also as Ay veen .I had one in my class at school in southern Ireland mid 80's.

Poor child was pronouncing her own name wrong then.

It does happen. I know a Saoirse who pronounces her name Sorsha and a colleague knows a “Seeoban” (Siobhan). Doesn’t make them right!

My cousin is Aveen, rhymes with daydream.

I’ve heard Ciara promounced See are a in the US. It wasn’t Chiara.

Aoibhinn is pronounced Ee-veen

Ee-veen here too

I pronounce it ave-een and most I know pronounce it this way but I've heard others pronounce it eve-een. It depends what area you're from I think, like saoirse and caoimhe are slightly varied depending where you live too

Aoibhinn should be pronounced "EE - vin"

It's often pronounced AY - veen . Or EE - veen

But it's missing fadas so EE vin it is

EEvinn

It’s really widespread, but it’s still
wrong!

How are these other two names pronounced?

It's Even

Eve-in. Or Bob if you like.

Irish ancestors, and to me it is Ev-en.
Wasn't there once a "Craic" section on Mumsnet?
