Re: Saoirse
in reply to a message by Susannah
Love it. Love the meaning.
Ella has a Saoirse in her class at school, and after the first time, noone has trouble with it. We live in Australia, by the way. There is also a Caoimhe, Tadhg and Aoife at her school, and there was an Aoibhe at Olivia's gymnastics, and they all seem to manage just fine after the first couple of times. Lachlan is one of the most popular boys names here, every one dose just fine with Sean and I often see Niamh in the birth annoucements. People will get used to it.
I grew up having to spell and pronounce my name for people, and it hasn't hurt me or put me off using unusal names for my kids. People can mess up the simplest name. Heck, name your daughter Caitlin and she'll still be spelling it for people all her life.
