HelpRe: Let's not get too caught up in phonetics here..
in reply to a message by RuralRuna
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
