1. How do you pronounce it? Actually, it's pronounced more like siv-nya or siv-nyuh. There's a quick "y" sound.
2. If you know, how common/weird/archaic is it in Ireland/Scotland/etc.? I live in Ireland, and I've never heard of anyone called Suibhne. It sounds archaic. However, I do know people whose surname is McSweeney, which would be Mac Suibhne in Irish.
3. Do you like the name? No, I don't really like it. And I don't know why.
4. What do you think of Daniel Suibhne? Nice combo. Seems to go well with Daniel.
5. Does it conjure up any images for you? Johnny Depp playing Sweeney Todd.

A few questions on Suibhne...
1. How do you pronounce it? I would have no freaking clue without a helpful guide. My first guess would be "soo-eeb-nee", but I see that the actual way is "siv-na". Ok.
2. If you know, how common/weird/archaic is it in Ireland/Scotland/etc.? I have no idea. It would be very unique indeed here in Winnipeg, Canada :)
3. Do you like the name? I usually am not too keen on names that I have no clue how to say. The letters look very nice, though. And "sivna" is a pleasant sound.
4. What do you think of Daniel Suibhne? Oh my. I thought this was a girl's name. Ok then. I am not overly fond of Daniel to begin with, so the combo does not leave me warm and fuzzy. I think a less staunchly traditional name might look more interesting with it. Like Theo Suibhne, Felix Suibhne or Lewis Suibhne.
5. Does it conjure up any images for you? Not really I am afraid :(
