Help[Opinions] Re: Changing Pron.
in reply to a message by Bex
Finlay - The pronunciation I use (and the pronunciation I've heard around here) is more like fin-lay than fin-lee. The end syllable is more like the 'i' in 'it' than an 'ee' sound (ie you wouldn't pronounce it as EET). It's not like you wanting to change it to FINE-ley or something.
Phineas - I don't see why not.
Amias - I do pronounce it as uh-MY-as so that wouldn't bother me.
Small changes like that don't bother me, differences like that can simply be down to differences in accent. However radically changing a pronunciation just because you want to isn't good, like demanding Niamh be pronounced NEE-am.
