This may be a question for the Languages forum, but I felt that it was just a bit too juvenile for that, so here it stands.

I've always pronounced the name Eowyn "Ay-o-whin" and Eomer "Ay-ah-mur" (that's with a long "A"), but my mother thinks that I'm pronouncing them wrong.

Has anyone heard these pronouced, maybe on the old LotR BBC broadcasts?

Thanks,
the Muse
