I thought it was pronounced [shih-bal], with the [a] sounding like the 'a' in 'cat...'
Anyway, it's nice.

It's nms but I like Siobhan.

I don't like "Sh" names on women, and I find the look and pronunciation of this name equally annoying. I know it's Irish, but it sounds ghetto, and like it should have the siblings Sh'Quinn, La'Ron, and Tyreke.

Sorry, but I don't think it sounds very nice either. It reminds me of the Irish word for mouth, béal.

I hope you don't mind, but can I put it on my character names list? I'm writing a fantasy novel at the moment and it would be a really good name (might use it for a guy though - I assume it's female).

I think Sibéal is OK. The sound is different, but still quite attractive.

I like it too. It's a great alternative to Isabel/Isabelle/etc. which is so overused today.

I thought Siobhan was pronounced shi-vonne. You know, because the bh in Gaelic/Celtic/whatever makes a V sound? So, technically, wouldn't the name you like be shi-vayle? I'm not a fan of funky spellings. I would pronounce that si-beel. Because that's how it's spelled. *shrug*

Shi-vayle or shi-bayle, either way it's not my taste, but the former seems somewhat better.

Its not my style but it has an interesting sound to it, not unattractive just different.
