Pronunciation of Eileen

Here is how Eileen is pronounced

a person I know spells it the same as I do - EILEEN - but she just informed me that it is pronounced A (long A) Lean. She happens to be of Hispanic lineage. Would that affect the sound of "long A" instead of "Eye" at beginning of name?

I also know a person who pronounces her name "Eye Lean" BUT spells it Aileen. She informed me that Eileen is the Irish form and Aileen is the English form.

I was also told or read somewhere that it is a form of the woman's name, Helen.

Just curious

Here is how Eileen is pronounced

Unfortunately in Asia, we read it as it is spelled..E-leen. My mom gave me this name but pronounced it as E-leen. It was later on when my English teachers told me that it was Eye-leen. I have since adopted the pronounciationEye-Leen as it is more universally recognised :)

The American pronunciation of Eileen, specifically in United States, is

I'm from the U.S. My dad named me this, and pronounced it with long E's: E-leen. I've considered changing the spelling to make it more phonetically correct. It's like how some people say "either" with a long E or a long I. Learned over time that I can tell a lot about people by how they handle hearing, learning and saying my name. =)
