[Opinions] Re: Sorcha pronounciation ?
I guess this name doesn't get brought up too often here because I didn't even know how to pronounce it properly. Upon seeing the name, I immediately assumed it was pronounced SOR-sha. I don't know how an Irish person would feel, but I can tell you that I doubt many other people would care. What do you mean about Sorsha not being considered a "real" name? I don't know how old your daughter is but I think you could avoid all confusion by spelling it Sorsha. I'm not super familiar with naming laws in Germany but I don't see how Sorsha could get rejected.

From my knowledge Sorsha came up in the book Willow only. So it is a fantasy name with no history and meaning.And you are right, changing the spelling to Sorsha would be the easiest. Probably I will check if this is possible although I like the meaning of Sorcha.........

NMI didn't see your second paragraph. I do know that naming laws can be ridiculously subjective.
