out of genuine curiosity, how do you pronounce fionn? I haven’t said it out loud yet because I don’t want to butcher it completely. in interviews it sounds like “Finn” but why do I feel like that isn’t right
for fionn whitehead you’re not wrong, he pronounces it finn because he’s using the anglicised version. generally people I know would say it kind of like fee-un, only it’s all one syllable. the best description I’ve heard is that it’s like putting f before the word young and leaving off the g.
