[Opinions] Re: Stupid pronunciation question...
in reply to a message by Emily
I went to school with several Alasdair's - it's been popular here till quite recently. They all pronounced it the same as the Alastairs pronounced theirs - AL-iss-tur. In practise they sound identical. I've never heard "Dair", though it would be pronounced like "dare", yes. In my experience they all went by Ally, which is why I can't get used to Allie as a girls' name in the States :-)
