User comments for Diarmuid

Diarmuid Gavin (BBC TV gardner) pronounces his name as "DER-mot" instead of "DEER-mid" to make it easier for English speakers.

This is the Irish version of my name, and I have always pronounced it "JEER-midh", that is, with a "J" sound as the beginning, and a soft "d" at the end (almost like a "th", but not quite).
