I know two little girls named Siobhan (both spell it this way). I think it's just gorgeous but the pronunciation can be a pain (one of the little girls is autistic and calls herself sih-bawn. If I remember correctly her parents also call her this).

I know a girl who is Megan Siobhan. I think it's lovely but the spelling & pronounciation is difficult for English speakers.

My niece is Clare Siobhan (sha-VAWN). It's the Irish form of Jane / Joan. Gorgeous.

I've never heard of anyone with Siobhan, but it's pronounced shi-vawn, I believe. You should've put this is the Name Facts message board._________________________________________________

I don't really like it. I find it boring and it's a bit dated where I live.Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I've met a handful of Siobhan's in my time. They've all spelt it Siobhan, but I have also seen Shevaun in newspapers etc. I prefer the latter spelling if you live in the US, where Siobhan might be confusing. It's pronounced she-VAWN :-)_____________________________________________________________________Elinor'Why do people with closed minds, always open their mouths?'

See here, first of all: Siobhan.I don't know anyone with the name Siobhan per se. But my Social Studies teacher last year had a daughter called Shivaun, one of the many possible Anglicised spellings. In this case, though, I prefer just Siobhan itself, because any attempts at Anglicising the spelling just look kre8iv to me.
