I think that is the spelling. Not having any more DC but saw this written down and wondered how you say it.

I read it as Sadhuhb, I am sure it's not pronounced like that though. What's its origin ?

MargoGetYourGun · 18/01/2015 08:31

Think it's Sive.

MargoGetYourGun · 18/01/2015 08:32

Rhyming with five, not give. It's Irish, if it's the name i think it is.

Like sieve the kitchen tool or Steve with out the t ?

AwfulBeryl · 18/01/2015 08:33

Oh oh oh I see.

Syve- but I don't think that spelling is quite right.

Rhymes with five, it's Irish.

AwfulBeryl · 18/01/2015 08:39

Smile sive is much nicer than Sadhuhb

Flywheel · 18/01/2015 08:44

The spelling is correct. As others say. It rhymes with five

Wailywailywaily · 18/01/2015 08:46

I would spell in Sadbh or Sabh. I don't think there is an official way to spell it it just depends what part of the country you are from. It is my favourite Irish name

juneau · 18/01/2015 08:48

Its Sive. I actually know one and the GP of this child had the gall to question the (much more common and very easy to spell) nickname that we've given DS1 Hmm

Wailywailywaily · 18/01/2015 08:55

I know one, spelled Sabh though.

MelanieWiggles · 18/01/2015 08:59

It's an old irish name - features in irish mythology:Sadhbh

I'm irish and know quite a few, it's pronounced Sive to rhyme with five. I usually see it spelt as Saidbh!
