[Opinions] Re: Siofra
in reply to a message by Siri
I've never seen it before you mentioned it in a thread below. This is why I come to this sight. You are nifty-fifty and made this name nerd's day.How is it pronounced? Other Irish names with "Si-" as pronounced with a "sh" sound. Is this one too? "SHOFF-ruh?" "SHEEF-ruh?" While I can't sound out Siofra Helen, the symbolism of Celtic and Greek mythology together is delicious. It's the kind of combination Oscar Wilde would have made. I don't think I can equal it, but I enjoy trying:Siofra Niamh (for the strong of heart)
Siofra Glynis
Siofra Eibhlin / Evelyn
Siofra Liadan
Siofra Emer (too spritely?)
Siofra Clare
Siofra Leto
Siofra Hesper
Siofra Ione (Advanced Pronunciation 101)
Siofra Daphne
Siofra Vivien
Siofra LinnetKendrick is very handsome. I don't know why it isn't more popular. As for the ex-boyfriend thing, only you can tell how comfortable you are with it. I wouldn't worry about other people's reactions, other than the father of the child of course.

Siofra Linnet - which is by far my favorite. My ex comes with baggage. He was not particularly liked by most of my family members...I think I'll mention the name and gauge reactions.
