Greetings!
I was thinking it would be a good idea if I provided a little pronunciation guide on my Scottish character names in my book,
Trouble in Scotland.
A few folks I know have commented on how they aren't sure about the way to say some of the characters' names, so here is a list of the names, and how I pronounce them.
(my personal pronunciation may be different from the official original ones, but...I get to call them whatever I please, because I wrote them, eh?) ;-)
So here they are:
- Artair - Are-TARE
- Mairghread - MARG-red
(Nickname; MARG)
- Teagan - TEE-gan
- Gavina - Ga-VEE-na
- Fiona - Fee-OH-na
- Fenella - Fin-ELL-ah
- Mairi - MA-ree
- Alexander - Al-ig-ZAN-der
- Riley - RY-lee
And there we have it!
I hope that helped if any of you were unsure of how to pronounce any of my characters' names. :-)
- How is your summer going?
- There are lots of wildfires around my town; is it smoky where you live too?
God bless!
