Anybody that can help me pronounce that name?
Muh-fan-oi I believe
I’d have said Mi-fan-oi?
Edit: youtube says you’re right
Muh-van-wee is the correct pronunciation FYI - YouTube is terrible for Welsh name pronunciation.
My-fun-wee is the pronunciation I learned from Little Britain
Beautiful, thank you
I listened to an audiobook with a main character who had that name (The Rook by Daniel O'Malley) and the narrator pronounced it in a way that rhymed with Tiffany
Yeah I say Mu Fan Way but as a scot with no Welsh relatives that's probably completely wrong
/məˈvɑːn.wi/ is what Wiktionary says, it's like muh-van-wy
The stress should usually be on the second syllable
Beautiful
Off-topic, but on-comment:
an amazing book with an intriguing story!
To those who like urban fantasy I wholeheartedly recommend it.
