I have absolutely no idea how to even attempt to pronounce Saoirse... Seems like a name that your child will have to correct for its entire life, both pronunciation and spelling.
I like Eliana. Saoirse is pretty but unless you live in a very Irish community, I agree that she would have to correct a lot of people. Not a fan of Oriana. Makes me think of Oral.
My friend named her daughter Saoirse. I know how to say it. Her friends know how to say it. Strangers have no idea. (Seer-sha for those who dont know) it's a beautiful name.
No periods due to 17 years of ballet and distance running after college. Zero response to 2 months of Clomid, little response to Letrozole. IUI left with 9 cysts = too many viable eggs due to age. On to IVF. Low dose of all meds still produced 37 mature eggs 12.6.11. Froze due to overstimulation.
FET #1.1 1.22.12 BFN. FET #1.2 2.22.12=GRACE! (and a vanishing twin).
Grace Katherine born 10.25.12 @ 36w6w 6#14oz 19.5". FET #1.3 3.2013 BFN FET#1.4 4.2013 BFN. Never tried a fresh transfer. Let's try, despite 10 still frozen. ER 6.26.13 27 mature eggs, slight overstim. ET 7.1.13 ectopic, FET 2.1 9.10.14 TRIPLETS!!
Boys born 3.18.14 @ 29w5d. Andrew Jack 3#6oz 16", Grant Robert 3#9oz 16", Charles Phillip 3#7oz 17".
If you're Irish, Saoirse is fine, if you're not Irish, it kinda looks pretentious.
I really don't like Eliana.
I like Oriana the most of the three, but she's a fairly popular character in League of Legends, which might bother you or not. (They spell it different wrong.)
Thanks, everyone! I appreciate the opinions. @wassuphoes, when I think Oriana as a video game character, I actually think about Miranda Lawson's baby sister from the Mass Effect series. A LoL reference won't bother me.
Eliana is nice. Saoirse is going to be one of those ones that not many people will know how to say, which will be confusing and kind of frustrating after a while. I didn't even know until someone posted the pronounciation earlier.

Oriana is strange.
Saoirse is fantastic.
