Some more queries where I have heard different versions and
I don't know which is "right":

Girilambone
Toongi
Nanami

For the first two, there are several variants especially re
softness of the "g", e.g.

Toongi =  toon- gheye,  toon - ghee,  toon-jeye,  toon-jee

(where I am using "gh" for the hard "g" as in "ghost")

and

Girilambone = GHIRR-ill-am-bone, Gha-RILL-am-bone, Jirr-a-lam-bone,
Jir-RILL-am-bone ...

WHICH IS "RIGHT"?
