HelpLet's not get too caught up in phonetics here..
in reply to a message by Pelops
Either how, I straight off the back pronounced it as Anne, but the Ein pronounciation makes sense.
I don't know who Ayn Rand is and quite frankly I don't give a damn, however juding by the things I've just looked up about her, she doesn't seem all that good.
Rate my PNL or I will boil your teeth.

No, I don't understand. Why wouldn't you use phonetics to determine how a name sounds off the bat? Ayn is either Ein or Ain (like Aim). There is no word in, well, any language I can think of where it makes the Anne vowel. What's your reasoning? This is legitimately completely unfathomable to me. No, Ayn Rand is not very good.

Just weighing in to agree here. I’m a trained phonics teacher and ‘ay’ is not a grapheme for /a/. It just isn’t.

Because that's what my brain tells me? Do I need a reason for that? lol
