General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters / Name Pronunciation | | Gaelic term or phrase: Aodhain | Hi all,
I don't exactly need a translation, but a consultation on pronunciation: I just wanted to know what this name sounds like in English, as I've been given various versions. International Phonetic Alphabet or easily understandable transcription much appreciated!! Thank you very much in advance, everyone. |

| Grading comment Thank you for your reply. However, the correct pronunciation, at least according to the person named as such, is Gee-hin. Thank you anyway.
