Help, I can't find the correct pronunication of two names. Would
someone be able to write them out phonetically (sp?) or call me and
give me the correct way to say them, the only thing I do know is that
their Celtic:
Dymphna (meaning white wave)
Emryss (meaning immortal)
I am going between these two names for an organization I'm involved
with called SCA (Society for Creative Anchronisms).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

| 897.1 | Dymphna may be more Relevant | NIALL::HURLEY | Fri Apr 26 1991 10:18 | 8 | |
Not sure of the second but DIM F NUH is the first.
For what its worth St. Dymphna is the patron Saint
of Mental Illness

How would I say either: Duinesidhe or O'Duineacha (this is the original surname of the Denehy's). Thanks Diane | |||||

Leaprechauns will oblige on one or two.
Dymphna = DIYNF-NAH OR THYNF-NAH but in Dublin they say
DIMP-NAAAA
Emryss = EM-RISSSS
Duinesidhe = DIYNE--SHEE or THYNE-SHEEE (fairy-person or ghost person)
Irish fairies do not equate the U.S. connotation (they are types of
mischievious poltergeist).
Snake couldn't resist.
