I prefer Innes to Ennis, but only if there's a family link. Otherwise it's just too random. As for Flann, it can mean what it likes in medieval Irish, but today it means an open fruit pie.

I thought an open fruit pie was a tart? My mom makes custard flan on holidays. I'm not a custard fan so I don't eat it, I can't really think of how to describe it. Everyone in the family pronounces "flan" to rhyme with "fan," except my mom, so it's become kind of a joke and we goof on each other about it :)

Tarts and flans = pretty much the same thing. Except for those things with the jelly and fruit and sponge case, they're always flans.

PS How does your mom say flan, then?

FLAHN. I say it the same way, since she told me that was correct. By the way, I don't mean to make it sound like we are snobby about it - like I said, it's become a family joke :)
