I know an Irina and she uses this pn - she’s Greek if that helps at all :smiling_face:

I would pronounce it ih-ree-na but wouldn’t be surprised if it was supposed to be eye-free-na. The area pronunciation probably wouldn’t occur to me.

I think before I knew of any Irina’s my instinct would be eye-reen-a, but the couple I have heard of have both been ih-ree-na

my name is Ireni/Irini [Eirene], its greek, and we pronounce it ee-ree-nee, so [name_f]Irina[/name_f] would be ee-ree-na
