    This probably isn't the best place for this post, but can't find anywhere else for it.

    Can anyone tell me how to pronounce the name, Finghin?

    It looks like it should be Fin-gin or Fing - in but I am sure that isn't right. I am also guessing that it is linked to the name Finian, but without the 'a' am really at a loss.

    I have to meet a guy at work with this name. He had a strong country accent and mumbled on the phone and it was one of those embarrassing situations where I asked three times how to pronounce the name, but still couldn't understand him. I got the correct spelling of his name through email, but I have no idea how to pronounce it. Pleas help.

    Fin een

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
