Everyone in Ireland pronounces it wrong apart from Donegal people for what it's worth.
Ha, aye, it's one hundred per cent pronounced "bone-er" and definitely isn't pronounced "bawner", although the latter (mis)pronunciation has somehow entered into common usage. Packie is a cousin of an uncle of mine from the Dungloe area - he's my uncle through marriage to my da's sister - so my aunt, uncle and their family share Packie's surname and they all pronounce it "bone-er".
