More Ree-aun."Gh" is silent and the accent/fada over the i lengthens it.

If I am interpreting the pronuciation key in O Corrain & Maguire's Irish Names correctly, I think this is "Mor REE-awn".

CKE, in namenerds.com there's a list of Irish names with pronunciations and, though they don't show Mor Rioghain, they do give Rioghain and also show it as REE-awn. It's quite a useful site, and fun to consult.All the best
