Sair-sha (sair like hair) though some say sear-sha (sear like hear). I think it's beautiful!

I'm still unable to pronounce it. I thought it was something like Source :)|||

Where does that name come from, by the way?

It comes from Ireland. It's a Irish Gaelic name.

ive always liked the sound of the name but not at all how its spelled.... i would totally change the spelling to something that actually looks like its pronounced. (i prefer the searsha to the sairsha sound) so it would be Seirsha or something similar for me

I glad that someone finally asked because in my head it a little bit like sea horsie :)

I like it better Seer-sha

I'm glad to find out that there aren't people one here wanting to name their kids Sea Horsie!
