Oh, and Aodhán. I think it’s just pronounced like “Aiden”, but I’m not certain. Thanks!

I’m working on a story, and I just want to confirm a few name pronunciations:
Saoirse (SEER-sha was the given pronunciation) meaning freedom
Flannán, a name that means red
Ó Fallamháin (FALL-a-win?) as a surname. That was the one with which I’m having the most trouble.

Need to know how to pronounce this.

Agus beimid inár n-aoirí ar do shonsa, a Thiarna, ar do shonsa, tá cumhacht tagtha anuas ó do lámh ionas go gcomhlíonadh ár gcosa do thoil go tapaidh. Sruthóimid ar aghaidh mar abhainn chugat Agus plódaithe le hanamacha a bheidh sí go deo. In ainm an Athar, agus an Mhic, agus an Spioraid Naomh

Ní dhoirtfear fuil neamhchiontach choíche. Ach sruthóidh fuil na n-olc mar abhainn. Leathfaidh an triúr a n-eiteoga dubhaithe agus beidh siad ina chasúr buailte Dé.

Please, Thanks

I think it would also be a good idea to show the pronounciation of these words in their true proper form. This would help those who are learning see how it changes just slightly with different regions. Because one has to remember Universities teach proper pronounciation not every different dialect.
Just a thought anywho,
