How do you pronounce these names?

Odharnait, Gormlaith & I know this one doesn't look so hard but how do you pronounce Seren? I have pronounced it two different ways; one way is SAIR-en, the other is SER-en. I like both pronunciations but since I don't know any Welsh those are probably wrong anyway. 8P Thanks ahead of time! ~Arie~

Welsh, you say? See, I'd have thought the Odh would be "Ow", like in bodhran (BOW ron). But that's Irish, isn't it...is there a dh in modern Welsh? Haven't come across one beforeThe spider takes hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.

I don't know anything about Welsh, Odharnait is Irish. :)As for bodhran, there are a few different pronunciations for it. BOW-rawn is the most commonly used, that's all.Image hosted by Photobucket.com

There's been a thread about Odhranait before. See the pronunciation at at this link: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/arcview.php?id=182315&board=genPlease use the search function next time."Les yeux sont aveugles. Il faut chercher avec le coeur." -- Le Petit Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Gormlaith = GORM-la, I think.
