Behind the Name: Comments for the name Igraine

Comments for IGRAINE:

I'm not sure if it's relevant, but in Marion Zimmer Bradley's "Mists of Avalon" Viviane mentions that Igraine's original name is Gráinne.

I've heard Igraine pronounced "ig-RAYN."

This name always reminds me of the word 'migraine.' However Igraine is my favourite female character in Arthurian Legend. Just don't like her name.

The mother of Arthur's name was also spelled Ygraine.

I don't like this name, for the simple reason of Igraine+M=Migraine. Okay, it's not the right spelling, but...
