How do you pronounce ...

[Tender Branson]

Saoirse Ronan ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saoirse_Ronan

I'd pronounce it like this:



"Cersei"

Probably totally wrong.

[politicus]

In the Wiki article you link  to she is quoted saying it is pronouned 'Seer-sha'.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Krampus

[Simfan34]

Krampus

I laughed.

[Tetro Kornbluth]

Seer-shah sometimes Sheer-shah.

[politicus]

Seer-shah sometimes Sheer-shah.

So her own Seer-sha is an Americanization?

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

Say-Or-Say Row-Nan

[Tetro Kornbluth]

Seer-shah sometimes Sheer-shah.

So her own Seer-sha is an Americanization?

No. The variation is pronunciation is accent.

On this note does anyone here know how 'Caoimhe' and 'Siobhan' (common Irish female names) are pronounced?

The American Siobhan I knew pronounced her name Shoh-VAN.

[Cranberry]

I (guess) I know how to pronounce Sinead, if that's even an Irish name

Should be something like Shuh--vawn and K(w)ee-va. 

Ive noticed slight regional variations and large variations in how authentic people are trying to be in pronunciations of the Irish language.

Based on your description of Siobhan, I would say she was taking the Irish consonant sounds and using Midwestern vowels.

I knew a Chivan, pronounced like Siobhan.

[patrick1]

On the subject of Irish names Ive always been partial to Róisín. Could be that I was friends with a girl years back from the North who was an absolute knockout.

[Mr. Smith]

Well Siobhan is "Shuh-bohn" from ones I used to know, but I dunno the other.

[DemPGH]

I suppose however she wants it pronounced. 0:)

Seriously, I would not have arrived at Seer-shah.

Krampus

Yeah, I LOLed.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Well, at least it's not about another 15-years old.

[Simfan34]

I'll just stick with "Sarah", thank you  .
