That's a cool name. our baby daughter arrived a few weeks ago and we toyed with alot of irish gaelic names but worried about people having trouble pronouncing - Niamh (Neev) is another one or Siobhan (She-vorn) - great names though
should move to scotland then, the people are much nicer here plus we would be able to pronounce niamh without blinking! :P

From my research, the Irish pronunciation of Eoin is "Owen". If this paper doesn't explain the issue thoroughly, I don't know what will except verification from Marcus himself:
