The Heir discussion

How is Eadlyn's name pronounced? Is it ADD-lyn, ED-lyn, EED-lyn? What do you think?

I think it's ADD-IL-YN. But I could be wrong.

According to the website of Kiera Cass, it's pronounced EED-len, and her brothers name Ahren, is pronounced AIR-en (:

It's pronounced Ead-Lyn. (The a is silent.) It's an Old English name, and I think it's very pretty.

I'm so confused!!! but in my opinion, ADD-lyn sounds better than EED-len.

Good lord the terrible names continue.

Am I the only person who likes the name? I think it's pretty :)

I think the ADD-IL-YN is the prettiest.

E-DA-L-I-N! I loooove the name! ;)

Me too. EED-lin is a little more difficult to say. ADD-il-yn rolls off the tongue easier.

I've been saying AID-lyn

I pronounce it EED-LYN. It's a beautiful name.

I pronounce it as EED-LYN

I think it's Eed-lyn. I'm surprised that America and Maxon didn't pick something…oh, I don't know, easier.

ALSO OMG @ THE ENDING OF THE HEIR *passes out*

It's definitely EED-lyn. And that's the way it's pronounced for the audio book. Great reader.

I always thought it was EED-A-LIN until I took a closer look at her spelling

¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Here's the post Kiera has on her website all about The Heir. She explains how to pronounce Eadlyn (EED-len) and Ahren's (AIR-en) names.

Emphasis on the DING

I'm pronouncing it A-dil-lyn till this shit is in a movie and an actor says it, Lmao.

I pronounced it Ed-Uh-Lyn while I was reading, though I was never sure if that was correct or not.
