Feminine form of Seoirse?

I like the sound of Seoirse and I used to believe Saoirse was a female form pronounced the same way. Then I found out that Saoirse is a totally different name pronounced SEER-sha, which I'm not very fond of. But is there a feminine form of Seoirse?

Since Seoirse is a form of George, teachnically Georgina is a feminine form of it. But I don't think that's what you're looking for.

There is also Georgette. It should be possible to devise an Irish spelling for Georgette, like Seoirsead [Warning: I don't know Irish good enough to ensure that this spelling is correct. I made it up from Seoirse and Sinead.]

Revisiting this old thread, I looked up some more sources and the correct spelling should be Seoirséad (note the acute accent above the second e). It is not a frequent or well-known Irish name.
