How about Sioban Sophia

Do you like the irish name Siobhan?
it is cool and sounds realy pritty
Reply:that is a great name. im am considering calling my baby if it is a girl liadan that is Irish as well.
Reply:Actually, it's pronounced Shi-vawn.


It's a lovely name - I went to high school with a girl with this name.


Don't do Sophia as the middle name with it, though Sophia is an awesome name. Pick something without an S-, and something simple - Ruth, Kelly, ...
Reply:I can never remember how this name is pronounced. I would spell it Shivaun if that is how its pronounced. The other way looks so weird to me and confusing since it looks nothing like its pronounciation.
Reply:I love it.
Reply:Only on a girl who lives in Ireland.
Reply:I've always liked it, but it also sounds like an American made up "ghetto" name. Unfortunately, over here, people don't know any better to assume that if they haven't heard it before, it must be made up. Hope you'll be using it in Ireland or somewhere European where people aren't as big idiots as they can be here ;)
Reply:I knew a girl with that name and thought it was really nice. Hard to know how to pronounce it though when you see it spelled out.
Reply:We have a Siobhan in our family.
Reply:we pronounce it shi vonne. it's a lovely Irish name and the spelling is the Irish spelling and shouldn't be tampered with. Siobhan Maeve or use a family name.
Reply:I really like that combo.
Reply:It does not sound like an "American made-up ghetto name"... Educated people will know how the name is pronounced...





Siobhan is one of the prettiest Irish names - albeit getting more popular, I believe. I would consider a different middle name, Sophia just doesn't flow well with it; and since Siobhan is an Irish name, I would try to find something more traditionally Irish as well. There are a billion to choose from!!
Reply:Being Irish myself, I love the name. However... I am a little concerned with the spelling of the name. If you want a unique Irish spelling name, what about something like, Aislynn? It means "Dream/Vision".


It's unique and Irish and is pronounced exactly like it it spelled. We all now know that now-a-days, kids are cruel and if they see the name Siobhan I can just see them calling her See-obb-han.
Reply:I love that name! Sophia is really cute with it too. I even like it Sophia Siobhan. Good choice!
Reply:i like the sound but Sioban is suppose to be pronounced Shi-van? She will get called sio-bawn
Reply:I never liked the spelling of the name. Took me years to figure it out.
Reply:I love Irish names! It's difficult to pronounce if you've never heard it before.





The two S-names don't sound so good together, in my opinion.
Reply:I don't really like it. It sounds too eww (I know, eww is not an adjective).
Reply:Siobhan Sophia, that's a good combination.
Reply:Funny story. My friend's middle name was supposed to be Siobhan but they forgot the "H" which pretty much makes the "v" sound. So she's a Sioban.





Anywwwway. I think it's a lovely name.





However I think it clashes with Sophia. I don't like how it sounds. I'd suggest something Gaelic too. Like Alana.
