[Opinions] Seersha
This is my attempt at anglicizing the beautiful Irish name Saoirse.
What do you think? Do you think it could do well in the states in this form? Thanks! Also, what do you think of the combo Seersha Grace?

I would stick with the original spelling. Saoirse looks much nicer, and the original spellings of Irish names are becoming more popular in the US.Saoirse Grace would be nice.

EhIt would do alright in the US being spelled that way, but Saoirse looks so much prettier. I'd almost rather just have the kid go through life having to spell and say her name for people. Saoirse Grace is nice.

I love Keeva (from Caoimhe), but Seersha is terrible. Love Saoirse, though.

Saoirse is lovely. I really don't think it needs anglicizing though, changing the spelling totally takes away the meaning. In the states, it'd probably work better as Seersha to avoid pronunciation problems. I think once the pronunciation of Saoirse is corrected, people would have no problems with it.
Please spell it Saoirse :)Saoirse Grace is nice.

I dislike it, to be honest. I'd keep the Saoirse spelling. Yes, it might be a bit of a pain to spell out...but it just looks so much better (and more authentic)!
