I have yet to hear a non-Irish person pronounce "Ballaghadereen" correctly.
mMst irish media types plus local eejity chamber of Commerce, political and think their smart types mispronounce it as "BALLADREEN"
Gobshites.

Did you ever try pronouncing Holborn in front of an English person? It is impossible

And most people have a problem with how to pronounce where he comes from.

It's Renna-la, not Ranna-la.

There is no part of Ireland that should be pronouncing caoimhin as cweeva. Dubs do it all the time.

Conal should never be koenal. Conan should never be koenan as koenan the barbarian

Sorry caoimhe not caoimhin

Always thought Caoimhe pronounced phonetically as Queeva to be honest. How does the rest of the country pronounce it?

Up North it's usually Kee-va
The blas is different up North

In Throne Kevin is Kyevin , Cara is Cyara
Oisín is pronounced without the fada , like Ocean in Armagh

etc etc
As Ard mhacha mé - and I'd say Osheen, probably because I have a bit of Irish but haven't heard Ocean

Yep, plenty of Oh Sheens round lurgan way but who am i to tell people they are pronouncing their child's name wrong  :P Cant remember hearing them name much until Oisin McConville destroyed Down in 1999.  He's a lot to answer for.

The Queeva pronunciation of Caoimhe always grates on me. Hate it. Sounds awful
