Confused with how it’s pronounced

Hello all :slight_smile:

I like [name_f]Fayre[/name_f] but I have no idea how it’s pronounced. I tried google it but it wasn’t a big help. Any ideas?

Because it’s a variation of [name_f]Farrah[/name_f], I would assume it’s pronounced something very close, like fay-ruh.

I’d say the same as @itsjustjack

At first glance, I would pronounce it the same as “fair”.

What language is it from?

Not sure. According to Nameberry it’s a variation of [name_f]Farrah[/name_f] which is Arabic.

Thanks! Not a big fan of the rah ending so propably I would put it off my list.

I’d probably say fay-ruh because of the similar name Feyre (also fay-ruh).

The Nameberry database isn’t particularly accurate when it comes to Arabic names so I would be skeptical. Unless there are more reliable sources to back it up. I can’t find any examples of Arab women with this name online.

I’ve never seen this name before but as it is spelled like the word fayre I’d instinctively pronounce it the same (like “fair”)

I would say [name_f]Fay[/name_f]-ruh, but thats because I’ve read the A [name_m]Court[/name_m] of Thorns and Roses series and the main character is named Feyre with that pronunciation.
