[Facts] Re: How do you pronounce the name "Senan"?
in reply to a message by penguiny7
Actually, Seanán is more like Shan-AWN. This is because Sean is said as Shan. With the Shan-AWN pronunciation you can see how Shannon comes from Seanán.
Senan or Senán would not be Shan-an or Shan-awn or because "Sen" is said differently to "Sean".
Senan would be Sen-AN and Senán would be Sen-AWN. It's usually spelt Senan though(no fada) and pronounced accordingly.
