I keep hearing film star Ioan Gruffud's name pronounced every which way. I would have thought phonetically as "Ee-an Griffeth". But what do I know! What's correct? Thanks, Mitzi in Seattle

Well, first it's spelt with a double d - Ioan Gruffudd - so that has a hard "th" as in "this" rather than in "think". Think of the double d in Pontnewydd, Pontnewynydd. Next it has no "s" at the end. So it's not Griffiths. It must be Yo Ann Griff Ith Not many Welsh people on here then?
