HelpRe: Sian
in reply to a message by TerraSierra
I love Sian for a girl. It's a traditional Welsh girl's name.
But here's the trick. I've heard it pronounced "shawn," just like the Irish male name Sean. But one or two people here on the boards swear it's supposed to be pronounced "shann."
I've never been able to get a Welsh person to tell me the true pronunciation. For now, I'm sticking with the "shawn" one.
I dislike the "Shawn" spelling for either gender.
