*are they effeminate?
[name_m]How[/name_m] is [name_m]Rayan[/name_m] pronounced?
Some internet sources suggest the same as [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] and others say [name_u]Ray[/name_u]-An. Also would you pronounce [name_m]Rayan[/name_m] and Rayyan differently?
I’d pronounce it [name_u]Ray[/name_u]-[name_m]Yan[/name_m], do people agree?
Thanks in advance.
I’m no expert so I can only speak from my experience but I studied with a guy named [name_m]Rayan[/name_m] (nn [name_u]Ray[/name_u]) and he was pronounced [name_u]Ray[/name_u]-An.
I have a friend who is muslim and she named her son Rayaan and they pronounce it [name_u]Ray[/name_u]-arn.
That’s excellent thanks guys. No one I know knows or has a [name_m]Rayan[/name_m]/Rayyan. I’m thinking of using it because I love the NN [name_u]Ray[/name_u] so it’s reassuring that it’s a NN that’s used. Thanks again for your replies. Xx
