[Opinions] Sheila vs Shelagh

I’m not really a fan of the name Sheila but I don’t dislike it as much as I used to. I only recently realised the Shelagh I knew spelt it this way and I think I prefer it. She’s a really nice lady too so maybe that’s why I like it so much. It says on here that it is english (rare) but I’m pretty sure it’s irish. WDYT? And what are some middle names to go with it?

I had a teacher named Sile, pronounced Sheila. She was Irish. She was also blind! (meaning of name)

I think Sheila is nicer in these more authentic spellings. Something kind of corny and fashionable about Sheila.

I've always liked Sheila itself, and I don't think Shelagh would be a good idea in my country, the US. It would cause confusion and there's no reason for it.

Cecilia

I only recently realized that Sheila is related to the name Cecilia. Now that I know it, I can see it. But I had no idea previously and was surprised to discover that. Of the two, I prefer Cecilia.

I like Sheila and Sile. Shelagh is very unpleasant looking, imo.

Prefer Sheila. Shelagh's pronunciation is not intuitive to me. It looks like She log.
