i say chicoal too...
idk why though
And I found it interesting, the way people on mabi jp spell ciar is "Kiaa" so kee-ar is probably how it's supposed to be said.
I say See-ar though :S

I JUST managed to find the pronunciation of that, so I'll add it to the list.
Incidentally, Tarlach isn't how it's supposed to be spelled.
Actual spellings for that name are: Tairdelbach, Toirdhealbhach, Traolach, Tárlach.
I'll add it in as "Tarlach" anyway.

Yeah, that.
1. NEH-ven
2. NOO-ah
3. MOR-ee-an
4. KEE-hol (keyhole)
5. KEE-ar
6. SAH-win
7. MAR-ee
8. Math out of habit, even though it's wrong. The correct way is MAH.
9. ROHR-ee (Rory)
10. EH-mayn MAH-kah (actual is more like AWN MAH-kah)
11. The way it's spelled
12. MAH-bee-NOH-gee
13. TAR-lahk
14. KAYT-in
15. AY-den (Aiden)
16. BEV-in
Also, no pronunciation thread is complete without Tir Chonaill, Badb Cath, and Sidhe Sneachta. Those get mispronounced in the most delightfully horrible ways.
