How to pronounce Cliodhna

My cousins have just had a little baby girl, and they've called her Cliodhna. They are from Ireland (unsuprisingly!). Now just how do you pronounce Cliodhna? I've looked on Google and every site seems to have a different pronunciation!

They say 'clee-uh' or 'clee-eh'!

However, math has explained it better than I ever could. I do have an Irish accent (albeit Northern), and do know how to say 'Cliodhna', but I have only recently started to try to learn Irish.

The baby is now 4, I'm sure the OP knows how to pronounce her name by now :)

I'm not sure on how others pronounce it, But I've seen it been pronounced Klee-Uh-Nah or Clay-na
