Can you tell me how you pronounce this name - Aleanbh?

Message withdrawn

Leanhb is pronounced lan-iv, but not sure where the stress goes when you add the A.

it means "a child" - it's a name? Boy or girl?

Its either pronaounce ah-lan-iv or ah-lan-ah depending on where you are from. Its a term of endearment meaning my child. I say it all the time to dd. Its also used a a name generally a girls name.

Thanks for the replies. It's an old friend's dd's name and I don't want to get it wrong when I call to congratulate - do I take it it's more likely to be prounounced al-lan-ah than ah-lan-iv?

Haven't come across it before but as ladymuck said leanbh (meaning child) is pronounced lan-iv so would probably go for ah-lan-iv
