^This. I have the same problem, cos in Scotland, Eoin seems to be Ian, but after about a year of knowing Iceman I realised his was pronounced Owen... Yet I still think of him as Ian.. :/

if we are on the discussion of names I still read Niall as Neal

I read it as Nigh-Al ... I don't know if that's right though..

Eoin is pronounced like Owen.

Niamh is Neev, how many more times, MH is pronounced as V in Irish as is BH

I know but my friend's called Eoin "Iain", it always confuses me

The old Irish translation of "Owen" is actually Eoghan (just to confuse matters even more)
