Re: Ethne
I haven't seen the movie either, but South Africa is full of elderly ladies called Ethne, for some reason. And they all pronounce it ETHnee. But it hasn't made a comeback yet.

Well, my name is Ethne and a lot of people have trouble pronouncing it! I think the easiest way to remember is to read it like 'Eth-knee'....Ethne!

My name is Ethne, too, and I thought of the same thing. I love my name, and it has encouraged me to be unique in every way possible.

Also, my parents got the idea from a movie called "the four feathers." I have not watched it, but my parents say it is a good movie.
