Help[Opinions] Re: Siobhan
in reply to a message by erb816
Not many Irish people live in Sweden, so I have yet to meet a Siobhan. When I first saw the name I guessed it was pronounced see-OU-ban and then I tried with SOU-an!
Anyway, I think it's a pretty nice name, but except for Irish speakers and name nerds, I think most people wouldn't know how to pronounce it.
I have only seen it as the name of one of the singers from Shakespear's Sisters (yes, they did spell it Shakespear), Siobhan Fahey.
I have, though, read about an Australian Aboriginal girl called Sinead, which made me surprised; I didn't think Sinéad was used outside Ireland. On the other hand more people probably know how to pronounce it thanks to Sinéad O'Connor.
Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?
