The correct spelling should be used, and ASCII limitations overcome! -- Gareth Hughes 19:49, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
I have moved the page, as there seems to be a consensus (6-to-1 in favour). Eugene van der Pijll 17:38, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
My sources, in particular Mythology of the Celtic Peoples, tell me that Aine is a luna goddess, not solar? So which is it?
Have found other good sources that also site her as being a Luna not a Solar goddess - Darakat
I don't think either. From the few 1° sources I have seen she is more a love/lust 'goddess' and the radiant/splender aspect of her name refers to her personally.
This article could be greatly improved by providing references to primary sources, in other words in what tales does she appear. She should also be differentiated from the Áine of the Fenian cycle - Kernos
Agreed, primary sources could help the verdant researcher, I could add a few but haven't got time right at the moment. - Darakat —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.165.248.152 ( talk) 10:07, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
I've cut the etymology section altogether. User:GeoffMGleadall imposed a large number of his fanciful etymologies on Wikipedia a long time ago. Some of them can be accepted as uncontroversial; but most are original research, and of these some fact can be teased out, but others are purely nonsense. Áine's would-be etymology is an example of the latter. None of GeoffMGleadall's sources support (a) his contention that Áine comes from PC *aidnā, which in any case is impossible, or (b) his claim that *aidnā means 'radiant', or (c) his forced parallels with Rosmerta et al. All in all, Wikipedia will be a happier project without this nonsense. Solidarity, Q·L· 1968 ☿ 23:53, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
[ˈaːn'ə] or [ˈaːnjə]? If it's roughly pronounced "on-yah" or "awn-yah" (as stated on the page " Aine (given name)"), then the pronunciation should be changed from the first transctiption to the second transcription. Also this change is supported by the recording of pronunciation from the site PronounceNames.com (although this is not a reliable source, and doesn't guarantee the correctness of pronunciation): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uuRZ-7KF_8 85.140.2.209 ( talk) 17:16, 1 August 2015 (UTC)A.
