Hey all!
So I've noticed that many people don't know how to correctly pronounce "Iram". I think there are technically 2 correct pronunciations .

But anyways, I decided to make it a game.

So, how do you pronounce "Iram"?
(Please give a detailed pronunciation Grin )

Ear-Am

Or

E-Rom

Whenever I see your name my mind jumps between those two.

Iram

It depends on if you are interested in it being easy for English speakers to guess, in which case it's EYE-rum, rhyming with "Hiram," or if you want it to be authentically Latin, in which case it would be "EE-rahm" (extra points for rolling the "r" just a touch, and try to avoid drawing out the vowels as long as an English speaker would.  (If you've heard the Spanish "i" and "a," that's the basic idea.)

I was definitely thinking "EYE-Rum" but now I am convinced by the Latin pronunciation, "EE-rrom"

Iram, is that your real name? Or just a alias?
