Friend has sent me a list of names she is considering for her dd but

[claireybee]

I am fick and don't know how to pronounce half of them

Oenone
Maitane
Nuala
Hortensia

I have an idea for all of them but no idea if I'm saying them correctly.

I would only know New la from that list. Hopefully someone less fick will come along and enlighten us both!

hor ten si a ..... dont know about oenone or maitane though I am afraid!

My-tan? Its Basque aparently.
Ee-non-ee = Oenone is a water nymph in greek myth.
New-lah. Irish easy one.
Hore-ten-see-a -Hortensia , famous roman orator.

Ok so Nuala I got right, Hortensia I was going Ortensia because I used to teach a French girl Hortense. Oenone I thought would be wen-o-nee and Maitane I would have said my tarn ee. Just shows how little I know
