What makes you think you can pronounce your own name?

You see, Irish, unlike every other language which has ever spread beyond the walls of a single village, has no regional variations in pronunciation.

I feel like someone who studied Irish “for years” would know that even the spelling of the language wasn’t given an official standard until the late 1950s, with the publication of An Caighdeán. An Caighdeán is only for written Irish and does not address pronunciation. I don’t think the regional dialects were even always mutually intelligible not that long ago.

An Caighdeán is pronounced "Alva."

You don't have to 8e a good person to 8e a hero.
I mean, I internally cringed when other English people were calling Storm Ciara "Kye-ah-rah" earlier this year; it was named by Met Eireann so it's pronounced "Key-rah".

I also feel sorry for all the women on these isles called Caoimhe, Niamh, Aoife, Maedbh, Sorcha, or Orlaith.

I knew someone in uni called Caoimhe, boy was that not pronounced the way I thought it would be.

I've got a funky name myself so I made sure to get it right after the first time though.

"It's nothing" is the best way to put it. I dug up the article and it's some very well trod ground about women and the second shift that veers over into sex work out of nowhere because all TERF rivers lead back to the same sea.
