Indeed since I find her name almost as daunting to type as I would to say! Happy birthday and may your name never grow less or pronunciation would be too easy....

Thank you all! It's been hot and steamy day so far, but not too bad, all in all. 57 isn't all that horrible, especially when a lot of places give you discounts. One of the few perks of getting up there in years.

Heh--saying it's the easy part. What's hard to remember is where the vowel markings go, and which ones they are.

Regarding that, by the way, Blind Guardian, what you have identified as an "o" in "ioil" is actually a "đ" or "dh"--as in "Maedhros" or "Caradhras". At least... it is if I'm right in my understanding of that rather obscure symbol. It's a rare enough character that I can't seem to find a combination code, and I don't know its name to search it--I just know enough to know it exists.

Anyway... to get back on topic:

"Happy birthday, Ibrinidhilpathanezel (sic)--may you continue to enjoy many more hale and hearty years and the full memory required to recollect your own name."

That's the really hard part, isn't it?

If I recall correctly, the HTML code for that particular letter is ð . Though in Old English it had a name I can't recall at the moment, it's considered the lowercase Icelandic eth in HTML code (in hex code, it would be &#xF0. Maybe).

It think it is the old English charachter "eth". Like ash, thorn, yogh, wynn and ethel they have usually disappeared from English. the only one that you might see is Thorn in what looks like Ye olde englishe tea shoppe and the like.... others are latent like the name Menzies being pronounced Mingies - z represents yogh not Z...
