I found this girls name in an Irish folktale. I love the spelling Emer and think that it is pronounced Em-err rather than Emm-a as I don't think the names are related but have never met anyone who has heard of the name. Does anyone know how it is supposed to be pronounced or have any more info on it? Thankyou.
