    I think a much more serious problem is people mispronouncing nairn's name.

    I had always imagined he was born out of a CS Lewis novel. Or his parents got confused, or something like that.

    Come to think of it, how do you pronounce it? Don't tell me it rhymes with Erin?!!

    • Naaaaaaaaaasarnnnnnn...thumb_screws
    • Rhymes with Cairn, cherub.
      @graf - Not Irish. Not really that first video (wtf?). Also, that second video is.. not wholly correct either.      Nairn
    • Sound like she's more pronouncing English English, rather than British English - up North Rs are indeed often pronounced towards the end of words. eg. 'Bark'.Nairn
    • ..in Southern Inglish is more like 'Bahk', but I enunciate the R. Perhaps it's because I went to elocution and am not a pleb, mind.
      /joke      Nairn
    • Actually - the more I watch of her video, as nice as she is, the more i disagree with it. She seems to have quite a narrow perspective.Nairn
    • lol dorf :)Nairn
    • As someone from the states, Cairn is a word that doesn't occur here. As a word it doesn't exist here, you wouldn't see it unless you left an went to aussielandcherub
    • Therefore thats two words I've never heard pronounced. I googled an I thought I read Nairn sorta rhymed with aaron but I guess I misread.cherub
    • “Noya”maquito
    • You don't have these in the states, cherub?
      https://en.wikipedia…      Nairn
    • No, not that I've ever seen. Piles of rocks sure, but never knew it had a name.cherub
    • Yeah you can find cairns here. They're usually just markers left by hippies on trails. Sidenote: Proud to say I have a stone on Maeve's Cairn in Sligo.garbage
    • In the US, I don't think we have words that rhyme with Nairn. Weird.monospaced
