Sion?

[bangandthedirtisgone]

Pronounced Sean.

It's welsh.

Thoughts?

my daughter is Sian. I love her name, it's so pretty.

Lovely - though if you aren't in Wales you'll probably wonder how people can mispronounce a name that to us seems so simple (like Sian too). You'll no doubt get Zion, See-on etc but I wouldn't let that put you off.

No. This is a bit too zealous for my tastes.

Seán or Shawn or Shaun would be better.

I wouldn't know how to pronounce Sian. Shan?

Made famous outside of Wales by Sion Jenkins the man who killed his foster daughter Billy Jenkins.

Or not as he would have us believe....
I always want to put a P in front of it.

But we're not Irish Liffey, we're welsh.

I know someone called Sion who is not the welsh Sion but a normal Sion - pronounced See-on. He's more commonly called Si for short.

There's also Sion Simon, the trendy young MP with an earring.

Sion

Not pronounced the welsh way but the capital city of my home county (Valais) in Switzerland.

The name is beautiful

I do not think people will relate your son.s name to the murder of Billy Jenkins. I thing if we search long enough we probably all have murderers names...

oh, yes of course Bang. I am not able to be objective but I imagined (?) that Seán/Shaun has travelled better. GOne mainstream if you see what I mean.

Sion Jenkins - my old deputy headmaster and careers teacher!!!

NO way!!! THEEEEE Sion Jenkins??

did you all fancy him? He was a goodlooking bastard, for a murderer!

alleged murderer

I know a Sion and i know its pronounced Shawn but i always want to call him Si-on, the same for Seans.. i always think of them as 'Seen'.

Liffey, it was a boys school so I'm guessing most pupils didn't fancy him!!! Us few girls that went there generally fancied the best looking sixth formers, not the teachers!
