What are peoples thoughts? We are living in central Scotland and our other DD has a Gaelic name also!

Obviously it's quite a common name where we are and there is a few "celebs" with the name

Yay or Nay

Love it - wanted to use the name with DD1, but DH wasn't so keen

@PhoneLock it's pronounced Sursha or Seersha depending on regional accent. Nothing like sore arse Grin

My DD middle name is Saoirse. Half Irish here as well as her father. Assuming you know its meaning is liberty. Such a stunning name.

This has been asked before not so long ago.

I remember because somebody likened it to Sore Arse.
