Okay, I am well aware that certain names are hard to pronounce so I've made a sort of crib sheet of how they should be said (or at least, how I say them!) Irish names don't sound anything like how they're spelt. I've only taken the ones that I think will be a bit 'WTF, how on earth do you say THAT?!' If I've missed any out, let me know. 

Bartley - Bart-lee

Niall - Nile (I'm not sure why I've added this; there's a very famous Niall, and I think we all know how to say his name. Some might even know how to scream his name!)

Saoirse - Ser-sha (Any Saoirse Ronan fans out there might already know this one.)

Cian - Kee-an

Killian - Kill-ian (Wasn't there a character from Once Upon a Time with this name?)

Sinead - Shin-aid

Oisin - O-sheen

Caoimhe - Keev-ah

Niamh - Neve

Cathal - Kaw-hal

Ailis - Ay-lish

Ciaran - Key-ran

Daragh - Dara

Eimear - E-mer

Roisin - Ro-sheen

Aisling - Ash-lin

Clodagh - Clo-dah

Aine - Awn-ya
