My Welsh friend
Tudur has a sister named
Sian. It's pronounced SHAHN (which equalls SHARN in Australian, so mum2bubba is correct).
I knew a
Sian whose name was pronounced
SHAWN, but she was born in 1983, looong before the name became popular, so her parents may just have been wrong. I've never heard the database pronunciation at all.
