Madjorka might be dying out but Eyebeetha isn't ...The pronunciation of Caitlin is an interesting issue as at least one Caitlin of my acquaintance (who does know better, knowing some Irish)introduces herself as Kate-lin. I have a great-niece whose name is actually written Kaitlin, which drives me nuts but there we are, that's her name. Given names are often a source of amusement and amazement. My favourite moment was when I was calling a register and got to the name Siobhan, which I pronounced (I think) correctly. There was a silence and then the small girl in question said, patiently, "Nah, it's SEEEB-HAHN, Miss". And another school register moment ... had a lad in a notoriously difficult class whose name was Wole. He was six foot something at the age of 14 and was not a nice boy. I approached his name with great caution, as in London slang to call someone a Wally was definitely not polite, so I tentatively made it rhyme with the small black underground mammal first. Wrong choice. He corrected me in some amusement, making it indeed sound like Wally. But I have a feeling if I'd done that first off I'd have been in major trouble...
