Heya, im trying to pronouce Caoimhín O'Murchadha and i am having a horrible time of it. Best i can figure out it is roughly: Kee-Veen O'Muhrahchahgch. but that sure doesnt seem right. can anyone phonetically type out how to pronounce this for me?

Hi TotallyGreen, I'd suggest KWEE-VEEN O MUR-A-KA (o as in 'O my!' and mur rhymes with fur) -KS
