I’m sorley dissapointed that the name [name]Siobhan[/name] is pronounced [name]Shavon[/name]. I knew bs or hs in Gaelic were pronounced V but in my head ive always pronounced it See-oh-b-han. I don’t know why but I like it more than Shavan!
Ps. [name]How[/name] do you pronouce [name]Niamh[/name]? nimm?
[name]Niamh[/name] is pronounced Neev
The Irish names will get you everytime - i think there is a blog topic specifically about that.
Here are some websites that help with pronunciations

I prefer to think of [name]Siobhan[/name] as being pronounced Shivon. My sister’s name is [name]Shivonne[/name]. I’m really pleased that the name is in the Twilight books and American Idol. Maybe now we can find audio tapes with her name being sung in them. LOL. Have you ever noticed that all of the Siobhans that you run into are all born around 1980?
