Some Irish names for me are really hard to pronounce, I know Caoimhe is pronounced Kee-Va but if I'm reading it like off a list I always say it different, like Kai- O - Me. I didn't know that Niamh was pronounced Neev until recently, until then I was saying Naomi idk why I do this though.

[Chuck]

Eoin is also an Irish name right? If I didn't know it I'd probably say it like:

e, like "and" in French, et - o, like "to" in French, au, in

I thought it was pronounced the same as 'Ian'. I've been saying (or thinking) it wrong all these years then. :S There was a Scottish footballer called Eoin Jess that was pronounced 'Ian' like that.

James! Scottish Gaelic should be similar to ours Poor Eoin Jess was probably just too polite to correct everyone

When he first went down to play in England the commentator, Clive Tyldesley, kept calling him 'Owen' and the Scottish presenters told him off about it lol.

Because Irish is a different language, the pronunciation doesn't seem to make sense when you're using the English language as your base to work from. Like the reason Niamh is pronounced Neeve is because in the Irish alphabet there is no letter V so MH together or BH together make a V sound
