Mid and East Antrim is full of uniquely named towns, villages and streets – some of which visitors or newcomers may find hard to pronounce.
We've put together a list of commonly mispronounced place names in the borough. Do you have any that you’d add?
5. Boneybefore
Visitors to Carrickfergus might assume this village - location of the ancestral home of 7th US president Andrew Jackson - is pronounced as 'BONE-ee-before', but locals know it's BONN-ee-before. Photo: Google maps
6. Carncastle/Cairncastle
There are multiple spellings for this village outside Larne, which will undoubtedly alter how it is pronounced - how do you say it? Photo: Google maps
7. Hugomont
Suggested by a reader, this part of Ballymena is sometimes spoken with a 'u' to its second syllable - 'hugo-MOUNT'. Photo: Google maps
8. Portglenone
It's obvious to locals, but visitors to the area might need reminding that it's 'port-glen-OWN', not 'port-glen-NONE'. Photo: Google maps
