Mair or Maire

Which do you like more and find easier to pronounce, and just generally looks nicer. Surname starts with a C and ends in an R. [name_u]Haven[/name_u]’t even thought of middle names yet :joy:

Thanks!

They’ll probably both be pronounced correctly, but I think [name_f]Maire[/name_f] looks nicer and more finished.

Those are 2 different names to me. The “ai” sound would be eye in [name_f]Mair[/name_f] and ay in [name_f]Maire[/name_f]. I voted for [name_f]Mair[/name_f] because of this, I’d pronounce [name_f]Maire[/name_f] as mare, ie a female horse.

It won’t let me edit it but Id like it to be pronounced like [name_f]Air[/name_f] with an M

I think [name_f]Maire[/name_f] is nicer to look at and more complete, but at first I did read it as [name_u]Marie[/name_u] which could be something to think about.

I think [name_f]Mair[/name_f] looks prettier, and I think it feels less like the word ‘mare’ than [name_f]Maire[/name_f] does!
