I found a lovely Irish name that is a form of Vincent, but I can't find the pronunciation. It's spelled Uinseann. Can somebody give it to me phonetically?

Uinseann
"win-shan"
This name is the Irish version of Vincent, and means "conquering." There are almost thirty Saint Vincents.

It's kind of like "weenshun" or "winshin" if you put less of an accent on it. The U and I form a dipthong. Instead of saying "oo" "ii" as two separate syllables, they run together and form a "we" sound. The "sse" forms is a distinct "sh" as in Sean..
