[quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]Aoibhe is pronounced differently to Aoife.[/b] US pronunciations of Irish names can cause problems the other direction too - when I first moved here, I met more than one Caitlin, and I pronounced it as we would in Ireland (Cat-leen), and managed to offend people :-) Another time, I told someone how their surname (Coughlan) would be pronounced at home in Irl (Kock-lan) and they got very offended (apparently here it's pronounced koff-lin!)[/quote] Thanks I didn't know it was a different name![/quote]
