  Thank you for this! DH is Irish and wants to use an Irish name if we can pick the right one. This will come in handy.

  Just fine Conversations go like this:

  Random Stranger: What's your name?

  DD: ::3yo version of her name, sounds like She-Shaw::

  RS: What did she say? ::or their own translation of what they think they  heard::

  Me: Saoirse

  RS: What?

  Me: Saoirse

  RS: How do you spell that?

  Me: That won't help you

  RS: Where's that from? (a handful of people asked if I made it up)

  Me: It's Irish

  RS: Oh, it's really pretty

  Her preschool teachers practiced it for a couple of days. I told her swim instructors to forget what they read and just watch me pronounce it. Now they're all pros, LOL

  And a few weeks after we moved into our current house, the newspaper had a picture of another Saoirse at an Irish celebration. She's in good company

  Well now I'm curious what it is!

  We have a friend who my husband grew up with and her name is Niamh. Took me forever to connect the spelling and the pronunciation together.
