[name_f]Sorcha[/name_f] is actually on my radar recently too!
- Instinctively, I say “SOR-ka” because that’s the way it’s pronounced in [name_f]Ireland[/name_f]. I knew a girl growing up who had everyone pronounce it “SOR-sha” though, but I feel like to avoid mispronunciations, just spell it ‘Sorsha’ if that’s the case.
- I’ve been wondering this question also. I think - despite common sense being hard to find these days - it could fairly easily be “gotten to” so-to-speak, if you sound it out, “cha” is kinda like “sha” and once you correct people, they’ll remember… hopefully.
- I would say if you’re looking for an [name_f]Irish[/name_f] name that’s easily said in the USA, I’d stick with the usual [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Orla[/name_f], [name_f]Oona[/name_f], anglicised spellings. However, if that’s not an issue for you and you’re looking for an [name_f]Irish[/name_f] name which is authentically spelled/pronounced, I would argue [name_f]Aisling[/name_f], [name_f]Gráinne[/name_f] and [name_f]Róisín[/name_f] have the same vibe as [name_f]Sorcha[/name_f] (for me anyway) - I’d say traditional spellings of [name_f]Meabh[/name_f], [name_f]Orlaith[/name_f] and Úna are equally as gorgeous.
