Yes too close. I don't like it

Victoria is close to Victor in the same kind of way, and nobody minds. I don't like either Sean or Seana, but I do like John and Joan, or Joanna, or Jane or Jean. And Michael and Michele.

I think this one all depends on where you live. In North America I think you’d find people would mess up the pronunciation a lot, and go for “see-AN-uh” or “SEE-nuh” first. I know guys named Sean that have lots of trouble, and the “-a” complicates things. In places where Scottish names are common I think it works better.

Hi !!!

Sean / Seana / Seanna / Seán / Seána.
All these names are typically Scottish, yes, but a bit boring.

I prefer other Scottish names.
