Irish names can be tough. Ive only text chatted with an online friend (This was early 2000 so voice chat wasnt common outside of raiding/coop games), and that meant that Ive trained in the completely wrong pronounciation of Siobhan (Im swedish) which made it weird when I met her and needed to retrain my brain.
That kinda tracks, actually, from the little I’ve studied the Irish language. Trying to understand it from the English alphabet can’t help, though, right?
For sure don’t know how that’s supposed to be said, but I’d bet they just go by Izzy.

I think I know the right way to say the name you replied to, but how the hell pronounce the one you wrote?

It’s always simpler than it looks, till it ain’t. Love it.
Had a friend with a dog named Sionach. Their vet’s reception person always squirmed, apparently.
