To ask how you would pronounce this name?

[Notss]

Hi all,

Sorry if this is the wrong place:

My little sister is expecting her first child and if it is a girl wants to call her “Sian”.

She sent it to me in a text and I replied “What - like See-Ann?” And she told me I was being daft.

So how would you pronounce such a name?

Sharn

Shan

Sharn

Sharn

Sharn

Sharn.

Sharn

It’s a Welsh name. Are you Welsh?

sharn

Oh, I’m aware now that it a transitional welsh name, and how it is pronounced; just wondered if I was daft at the time not to twig?

Sharn- I think it's Irish spelling lie

Cancel the cheque

Shahn

Sharn.
I’m surprised you haven’t heard of it.

Are you Welsh?

As she thought it was See-Ann, I’m going to guess not.

That was a massive cross post! Haha. No our family has no welsh blood at all; and neither does her partner.

I stand corrected it's Welsh

Shan

Sigh - Anne

My friends name is the same and she calls herself with the pronunciation above

Sh Ann or Shaan The focus is on the a(why can't I think of the real word I want to use?)

I know someone whose name is Sian and she pronounces it sigh-Ann. But normally it’s ‘sharn’

Sharn, but if you haven’t come across it before, you’re not being silly.

Well Siân is Welsh and is pronounced Sharn. However I have recently met an English ‘Sian’ who is See-an.

Shan if you're Scottish

Sharn if you put random Rs in words

It is my name but I do not say it with the r at all. It isn't said as Sharn. I am also Welsh 😊
