    I never heard of it until I googled the name and came up with...

    http://www.behindthename.com/name/ena

    So if it's shorthand for Eithne it's pronounced en(ough)a in my humble opinion. It's your baby so you can pronounce it as you like. Personally I'd go for the Enya version. Nice name, great singer.
