Also, it’s worth pointing out that [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] isn’t pronounced SOR-sha either…It’s more like SEER-sha or SAIR-sha.
If you really want to use a name that sounds like SOR-sha, why not just spell it phonetically? Sorsha. I’m usually not a fan of that, but in this case SOR-sha is not really either name ([name_f]Sorcha[/name_f] or [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f]) since both are pronounced differently.
Yeah, I really think you should just go with Sorsha spelled Sorsha. I think it looks nice. [/QUOTE]
[name_m]Just[/name_m] wanted to say, I completely agree with what rosierose said, I normally really dislike it when people spell names phonetically but Sorsha is kind of somewhere in between.
However it seems most people outside of [name_f]Ireland[/name_f]/who don’t have Irish heritage pronounce [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] SOR-sha so they might think that you were anglicising it
