Joey Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Just to avoid further conflict when he eventually starts playing in the Premiership, how are we going to pronounce his surname? For example, we could call him "Kay-hill", as per Tim Cahill at Everton. Or we could call him "Car-hill", as per my attractive 17-year-old friend Helen. Bearing in mind that he hails from Sheffield, meaning it will have a Yorkshire pronunciation, and Miss Cahill comes from North Yorkshire.. My vote therefore goes with Car-hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 21, 2005 Moderator Share Posted July 21, 2005 It is Cah-hill not Cay-hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I think its actually pronounced "Next superstar to be built up too quickly" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarjei Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 As far as I can see there's no R in Cahill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 If he is English its Car-hill, if he's Irish its Cay-hill. Its like Moran. In england you'd get called Mor-un, where in Ireland you are Mor-ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 21, 2005 Moderator Share Posted July 21, 2005 PB that's actually the wrong way around. It drives me mad how the English call (for example) Kevin Moran - Mor Anne. The emphasis should be on the 'o' as in 'More an' instead of on the 'a'. In Ireland Cahill is pronounced Cah-hill instead of Kayhill. Usually the English have trouble with the soft 'H' surnames like how they pronounce Carragher using the 'G' (instead of ignoring it) or Haughey being pronounced "Hockey" because they can't ignore the 'G' and say "Haw hee" if you get what I mean.

Maybe Caile is a better phonetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
