Kristenelle asked this question about The City We Became (Great Cities, #1):
How is Aislyn pronounced? In chapter three the character regrets that her parents used an Americanized pronunciation over the softer Irish pronunciation. What is the difference? I had a friend growing up with the name and we pronounced it "AZZ-lin." I suspect that is not the correct pronunciation here.
Jen Johnson Audiobook aside, all of the five have names (or nicknames in the case of Queens) that sound like their borough. So Eyes-lyn for Staten Island.
