Pronounciation of Aisake

[Lajon]

Can anyone confirm how your "Aisake" is meant to be pronounced?

I have been pronouncing it like "I-Saackey"?

that's how the media have been saying it. We will have to await confirmation from the man himself if he makes it info AFL. Much like the "Ree-volt" situation.

Someone on the Carlton board said it's pronounced like Azakee

From an article in The Age :

Either way, Carlton's Irish experiment has continued to grow with Aisake (pronounced Eye-Zack-ee) O'hAilpin, the 19-year-old brother of Setanta, officially added to the Blues' list as an international rookie yesterday.

Nickname please...

Honestly, it took me half the year to pronounce Setanta O'hAilpin.

 

[stevo#24]

wat would his nickname be exactly?????

 

[blues4flag]

I pronouce it as Az-ake, which is probably wrong but a lot easier than A-zak-ee.

Adopt it as a Japanese pronounciation. Make the "sa" silent.

"Aiske => A-ske"

hmmm a nickname for him .... would this be to much of a stretch?

Eye-Zack-ee ----> "Ice Hockey" ----> Wayne Gretzky (the Michael Jordan of Ice Hockey) ---> Gretzky
