Polish names

This morning a mother-to-be called the Immigration Discovery Centre wondering about the pronunciation of Polish names - Emile for a boy, Irena for a girl. By contacting the Australian-Polish Community Services I was able to confirm that both names get their second syllable emphasised, by the Polish, and sound like "em-EEL" and "i-REIGN-a" respectively.
