my childrens names

Tezzy · Jun 17th, 2009, 10:13 AM

ive had quite a few PMs from members wondering how to pronounce Rhys & Ffion..

so ive changed my signiture to include how to say them

Ilove · Jun 17th, 2009, 10:15 AM

I thought it was really obvious! Although I was brought up in Wales until I was 7...maybe I remembered more than I thought. Lovely names anyway!

Maybe I should do that for Niamh.

Neeeeeeeeeeve (rhymes with Eve)

I always have to correct myself with Niamh ... my head tells me its how i read it Ni -a ma but when i open my mouth to say it it comes out Neeeeve

Strange

I thought Rhys and Ffion were obvious though

Pyrrhic · Jun 17th, 2009, 10:21 AM

Yeah, a lot of people read it as Ni-ah-me or Naomi

Mervs Mum · Jun 17th, 2009, 10:22 AM

I wonder if I should do that!

I must admit I guessed right on Ffion and Rhys is a well known Welsh one I think.

I worked in a Catholic school and there were looooads of Niamh's so that one didnt get past me

I have often wondered how you pronounce hebe

though rhys and ffion were obvious

Blah11 · Jun 17th, 2009, 10:29 AM

I guessed all right although Niamh did get me stumped a bit at first.

Hebe is just he-be right?
