How to pronounce vs. Fionán?

I came across this irish name and was wondering if anyone knew how it was pronounced! I think Finan is a version of it too. How would you pronounce them? Thanks!

Stumbled on this! My name is Fionán, from Ireland and I’ve had all sorts of native Irish speakers pronounce it differently over the years, all claiming to have the right one. I’ve always been raised with the pronunciation: Fee-Non however. I’d say Fe-yon-an is acceptable as well, though that’s how a similar name Fionnan is pronounced.

Our son is Fionán. We pronounce it "Finn-awn" // "Fin-aun" (simple really)
