A load of people can't pronounce Irish names but to the Irish people it's really simple.
So I thought why not teach you.

1. Tadgh
Tadgh can be spelt a few different ways but they're all relatively the same.

Pronounced : Tygu (you kinda half pronounce the u if that makes sense)

2. Eoghan
Can also be spelt Owen.

Pronounced: O wen (the o is literally pronounced o)

3.Siobhan
Can be spelt with a fada (á<------ like this)

Pronounced: Shu-vawn

4. Caoimhe
No one ever gets this right (other than the Irish people)

Pronounced: Qweev-ah (I probably seem crazy)

5. Aisling
No one ever shows you how to pronounce Aisling because they think it's so simple nobody could say it wrong. They were wrong I have witnessed this name being butchered.

Pronounced: Ash-ling

If you have any questions about Ireland please comment then and I will try my best to answer.
