How would you pronounce Eoin and Eoghan?

Question

We're wanting to give our son a traditional Irish name, but I'm worried about how people will think it's pronounced. I won't say how it's pronounced yet. I want to see your interpretations!

Answer

I'd pronounce then both "owen"

Answer

I’d say the first one is Ian and the second one is pronounced Eegan? My friend just named her baby girl Saoirse (pronounced Sir-sha). I love Irish names (my husband is of Irish descent), but fear the way it will be butchered in Massachusetts.

Answer

I think the first one would be like owen and i have no idea how you would say the second one

Answer

Ee-ow-in and ee-oh-gan? I think it may be ian and Owen but that's how I read it. I like both names but the spelling is setting them up for alot of mispronunciation

Answer

I’m Latin and we pronounce every vowel so I’d say ee-oh-in.

Answer

Ian and Owen

Answer

I don’t now about the 2nd one but I worked with someone from Ireland and his name was Eoin and we pronounced it “Owen”

Answer

Ian and Eegan?

Answer

Both are "O-in" since they are variant spellings of the same name. The gh is silent in Eoghan and eo is pronounced "owe". But most people don't know that so the spelling and pronunciation will get butchered frequently. I love Irish names but they can be rough to get right sometimes.

Answer

Eoin like pork tender loin... 
Egan for the second. 
I'm sure that's wrong but that's how I read them.
