[Facts] Does anyone know how to pronounce this name?
Rórdán - I like this name I found in the database, but I have no clue about the pronunciation. Could someone please help me out? Is it pronounced like Jordan?
Thanks,
Kev

I have never seen this name in use before. Even a Google search turns up only two real persons so named.
That said, Rórdán sounds very similar to Jordan except for the long 'a.' Gaelic 'á' is pronounced [aw] as in 'lawn.'
Rórdán is roughly pronounced [ROAR-dawn].

I believe it's pronounced RAU-dahn, the "au" being somewhat French sounding.
