ArchivesRe: Curious on Irish pronunciations and Dialect variations
in reply to a message by Dragon_Clarinet
You are seeing different pronunciations because of different dialects & accents. Both are correct and acceptable.
My husband's grandmother and I once counted 6 or 7 different ways we had come across Siobhan( my name) pronounced in Ireland depending on where the speaker was from and if they were primarily Irish speakers or not (ie Irish people who speak Irish more than English).

Thanks! I appreciate it because I prefer some pronunciations over others that I've seen listed for a few irish names wondering if they were legit or not. And btw your name is pretty!
