原In English, "eighteen" may not be a great sound, but the real problem with this name for me is the meaning. I would definitely have some moral tribulations when considering naming a little girl "jealousy". No offense to the Etains out there.
原In Old and Middle Irish a t, c, or p in other than initial position is normally pronounced as d, g, b respectively. Thus cét = 100 was pronounced ke:d & is now spelt céad from a Celtic word kentom which, you will note is very like the Latin word centum. So Étaín was pronounced /e:di:n/ & is written in modern Irish as Éadaoin or quite often in English dress as Aideen. Anyone who knows the modern Irish spelling system will see immediately that Éadaoin would be well represented by the English spelling Aideen. There is therefore no need to confuse it with the numeral 18 in English.

译它发音为eh-teen。我也听说它发音为eh-deen。
原It's pronounced eh-teen. I've also heard it pronounced as eh-deen.
原I find myself wishing that this name was pronounced EE-TAIN, because I think that sounds so pretty. But I shrink from naming a child something that is pronounced "incorrectly" even if it DOES sound prettier the other way.
原I guess we can pronounce this like "ee-teen"; but the important thing is that in many countries we haven't "eighteen" - 18, so Étaín is a pretty name!

译在英语中,“十八”可能不是一个伟大的声音,但这个名字对我来说真正的问题是意义。在考虑命名一个小女孩“嫉妒”时,我一定会有一些道德的困扰。没有进攻在那里。

译在旧和中爱尔兰语中,除初始位置之外的a,c或p通常分别表示为d,g,b。因此,\u003cbr\u003ecét= 100发音为ke:d&现在拼写céad从凯尔特语kentom,你会注意到非常像拉丁语centum。所以Étaín发音/ e:di:n /&写在现代爱尔兰作为Éadaoin或常常在英语衣服作为艾迪恩。任何知道现代爱尔兰拼写系统的人都会立即看到Éadaoin将会被英语拼写Aideen很好地代表。因此,不需要将其与英语中的数字18混淆。
