Names

Wikipedia lists six Scottish forms of Margaret and they all look hard to pronounce:

Maighread
Mairead
Maisie
Marsaili
Mysie
Peigi

Why, oh why don't I know how to say you? This makes me sad.

EDIT: Okay, well, five of them look hard to pronounce. (FIVE.) Maisie is reasonably simple.

  1. The second one from the top is "M-air-ee-ad"-- "air" like the English word, long e, short a. I've always thought it's one of the cooler Scottish names.
