Re: Shelagh
in reply to a message by A
My take (as a non-Irish person) is that Shelagh is a more Irish-looking Anglicization of Síle, like Darragh vs. Dáire.
To answer the original post, I have only seen Sheila spelled as Shelagh on the character in the show Call the Midwife. I think it looks much more appealing than Síle. I dislike the name Sheila in the first place, though, but would say it's my favorite spelling.

I don't like the name either. She said that the spelling was Irish but I want to get opinions on that.
