- I instinctively pronounce it exactly as it looks to me as an American (“sore-cha”), which I know isn’t correct but I’m not familiar with this name. Personally, I would remember how to pronounce it correctly after being corrected the first time (tho that might not be the case for other people).
- I would argue any name is usable in the US. However, you have to be okay with her constantly having to spell her name out for people, correcting pronunciations, and getting things with her name spelled wrong. My name is [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], which is considered a classic [name_m]English[/name_m] name, and I live in a predominantly English-speaking area. People still can’t spell it right. I still have to spell my name out for people I’ve known for years and I have a list of all the ways my name has been spelled wrong. If people still struggle constantly with a typical [name_m]English[/name_m] name, I would expect them to struggle a lot more with an [name_f]Irish[/name_f] name. But that doesn’t make it unusable either, imo
