Roisin Marie is 14. I met her today.
Sinead Ann is 10.
Saoirse Lynn is 6.
The funny thing, is how their names are pronounced.
Roisin, typically pronounced Ro-sheen is pronounced Roy-sin
Sinead, typically shuh nayd is Sin-ee-ad
Saoirse, usually Seer shuh, is Say-or-seh
Roisin dislikes her given name pronounciation, so she goes by Ro-sheen.
I wonder why they would ruin such good names.
What are your thoughts?

There's some names that I also like prn as they're spelt:
Niamh -prefer Neev, but used to like Nee-am.
Saorise -Sa-oh-reez
etc.

I ask because, this "alternative" pronunciation might sound totally weird to you, but it's how I would pronounce them, if I didn't know any better.
Did it make sense?
I mean, I know now that Saoirse is pronounced Seer-shuh, but in Italian, you read the words as they are written, unlike English.
So that's how any Italian would prn. them without knowing
Hope I made some sense there!

Though I never did quite like Seer-shuh. In my accent, It sounds like I'm saying Sasha with a cockney/australian accent.

That's why I don't like names like that. All the pronounciations are completely different from how they are spelled. Just spell it Seersha or something!

Exactly.
Same goes for the name Niamh or something.
I kept thinking 'nyphm, like the magical creature!'
Little did I know it's actually N-eeve.
