Help[Opinions] Re: Saoirse
in reply to a message by Killian
I like Saoirse. This from a woman who would name dds Niamh and Aoife. ;-)
Saoirse was a little difficult for me to pronounce at first, "SEER-shuh." But once I got the hang of it it was easy.
There are other Irish "s" names I prefer: Sinead ("shi-NAYD"), Siobhan ("shuh-VAWN") and Siofra ("SHEE-fruh").
P.S. I'm sure you know how to pronounce these. The guides are for others reading this who might not know.

Isn't 'SHEE-fruh' the name of the bad guy in Casino Royale?

It's also pronounced the same as the Hebrew name Shifra. :-)

I haven't seen the movie so I can't answer that. I'll try over at IMDB to see if they have the cast listed.
P.S. Good ol' IMBD.com. They list the villain as "Le Chiffre." Chiffre is the French word for number and probably where English gets the word cipher. In French, chiffre is pronounced almost the same way as Siofra. Good ears!
