I have heard it pronounced as Shaun in England, but whether this is the "correct" pronunciation I'm not sure!

I have heard it pronounced See-own, in a hebrew setting

And the Welsh pronounciation is...

a cross betwee shown and shon, a long o sound. It sounds like Shaun with a prolonged au sound to non-Welsh speakers.
