edinburghowl Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Last night on 'Late Kick Off' on BBC1, John Hendrie, (Scottish person), corrected Guy Mowbray, (English person), with his pronounciation and pointed out it was Ir-vinn and not Ir-vine.Well I'm Scottish and I learned Gaelic at school and I'm 95% sure it's 'vine'. Which is strange because Dunfermline is pronounced 'Linn'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinburghowl Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) Irvine - Origin of the name Irvine's origin is Celtic, and its use, English and Scottish. Pronunciation for Irvine: ER as in "hurt (HH.ER.T)" ; V as in "vee (V.IY)" ; AY as in "hide (HH.AY.D)" ; N as in "knee (N.IY)" The above post has audio as well.

edinburghowl Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 MacLean was one that always annoyed me. When you bloody English pronounced it 'mc-leen'. That is 100% pronounced 'mc-lane' I think the best way to solve this will be to ask Alan himself. It seems with one poster on here that people that have the surname pronounce it both ways. It's obviously down to preference. Anyone fancy phoning Radio Sheffield? I would but nobody would understand me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan™ Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 http://www.babynamespedia.com/meaning/Irvine I'm right. I'm not sure why you keep quoting that website. Surely the pronunciation of a name is entirely down to the preference of the beholder? Although usually this comes directly from however their parents pronounced it too. I don't think this sort of thing can be proved with "facts", it should be pronounced however Irvine would like it to be pronounced. Just ask Mrs. Bucket.
