Re: Saoirse or Sorsha?
in reply to a message by MusicalTwinSiStar2
Well, Saoirse isn't exactly a traditional Irish name in the sense of the word. Saoirse only became popular during Ireland's struggle for independence from Great Britain in the late 19th century/early 20th century. During that period, Irish Gaelic words that were redolent of the ideals the Irish stood for such as saorise (freedom) and firinne (truth) became popular as names.
Anyways, my vote is for Saoirse. I love the name to bits. Unfortunately, Sorsha looks like a mispelling of Sorcha to me so I'm not fond of it at all.
