Help[Facts] How is this name pronounced?
Since English is not my native language, I would like to hear from those whose native language is English how the name Farran is pronounced. If possible, I would also like to know whether there is any difference in how Americans and Britons pronounce the name.
Thank you very much for your help. :)

American. I say FAH-rin.

I've never seen it before, but I taught a girl named Farrah (in South Africa) who pronounced it FA-ra, with the second a being the neutral vowel and the first being the a in ash or apple. I would do the same with Farran, at a guess.
I'm South African, but when I'm in the UK I merge with the natives!

I would say FAR-an basing it on Farrier which is from the same root meaning iron, rather than FAIR-an. But I've never heard the name before.

I'm American, and I would pronounc it FAIR-ən. I could also see it being FAHR-ən.
