SUR-SHA

Sa-oir-se.

That is how to pronounce that sequence of letters.

It's not that difficult, it's clear for the whole continent.
Unless you are an imbecile from one of those islands.
If that's the case, just invent a new rule every time.

reply

What continent? The Incontinent?

reply

THE continent.
As opposed to those islands.
Where are you from?

reply

SAIR-sha, or so I've been told. It's a really weird Celtic name, like Siobhan (SHOW-bon), or Mairead (mah-REED), or Meav (MAYV).

Weirdest Celtic name I've seen so far is Loghair, which for no reason I can decipher, is pronounced, "LEER-ee."

Thank you AmeriGirl26! I have seen all those names at some point and wondered about their pronunciation. 😊

You're welcome :)

SUR-SHA ROW-NEN....CONFIRMED BY SAOIRSE HERSELF.

“like Siobhan (SHOW-bon)”

I’ve only ever heard Siobhan pronounced as shi-vawn

reply

yeah gonna say - sha-vawn?

reply

"Siobhan (SHOW-bon)"


Show-WRONG!

There are multiple videos of her explaining it. I think even once on the Graham Norton show she did a little rhyme. But from her directly in case you don't trust any of the comments here.

I seriously doubt she has names for her fists. I could be wrong though.

reply

That just goes with the whole "I pronounce whatever letter in whatever the fuck way I want" theme of this thread.
Fist is pronounced first in many places where saoirse is not pronounced saoirse.

reply

I bet she's bored to fuck being asked about it at this stage.

reply

Watch one of the 4,000 clips of interviews where she was asked this. I'm amazed that she always answers gracefully and doesn't just slap people for asking at this point.

reply

F-I-S-T.
