How is mhairi pronounced

As I understand mh together make a v sound. Like Niamh neve Lovely name. Search for a thread. I always like to pronounce names the way they should be said rather than the way they look As long as you are prepared to correct people with spelling a nd pronounciation then i would use it. Hopefully when you have told family and friends the way you want it pronounced it shouldn't be a problem!

I like it! Baby names Niamh: opinions on pronounciation. Living in the Highlands I know or have come across loads of Mhairis and none of them have pronounced it with a V. Your pronounciation, Mar-ee, sounds more like Marie whereas all Mhairis I've ever known have pronounced it more like Marry with an "ay" sound at the end rather than and "ee" sound.

To be honest I'm a little confused on the prn. If the traditional way is var-ee then it may be best sticking with that or changing the spelling to get the mar-ee prn. Saying that my DD's name can be prn.

Hers is pronounced properly. What a lot of people are talking about here is just idiotic anglicising. My name is Mhairi Va-ree , never Mahree! I'm Scottish but never met anyone else with the name Mhairi until I was 11 - so I did get teased a bit at school. I've been called quite a few different things, mainly Mahree grrrr! I used to work for someone who's mother had English as a second language so I actually went by Barry for a while, though I had to laugh as my sister had to put up with Carrot!

I've also noticed that people with a really thick Scottish accent pronounce my name Va-ray which I rather quite like , but because I work for people from nearer London I use my nickname of Mollie as it saves lots of hassle and I don't have to listen to the same old phrase of "Oooh, what an unusual name - whatever does it mean?
