Thread Name: irish pronunciation
Subject: RE: irish pronunciation
"Bushell" is fairly well known as a surname in Ireland. It's pronounced as written, with the first syllable stressed and the "e" weak i.e. Bush-ill.

I've never heard it as a first name - nor heard of Bussell in either sense. I'll have a look around....
