Was wanting to see what other english people felt about this name! This is the only name me and my husband have so far agreed on for a girl, but everyone i have mentioned it to hates it. I know in Ireland no one would think it odd, but my parents have said we are cruel to inflict a name that no one knows how to spell or pronounce on our child! I genuinely dont want to burden my child with a ridiculous name, but i think its really pretty and a little different! Opinions please....

Once you've introduced her and said her name no-one will have a problem.

How do you pronounce Saoirse? Grin

Forgive me, but how is it pronounced? Thanks

How is it pronounced? I wouldn't have a clue how to say it.

Are you/ your parents/ your husband Irish?
I'm Irish, so I think it's an attractive and perfectly manageable name, even overseas.
Some people may tell you it has nationalist connotations but I think that's a little far-fetched.
