Saoirse = Sear-Sha = freedom

No it’s no SaoOOOOoorse

My name is literally saoirse

Correct. Finally.

My besties name is saoirse

It can be seersha but, more closely, it's sare-sha.

nope. that would be if it was saorse. the presence of the i lightens the vowel sound, making it seersha

@feidhlimharrington2275 Saoirse is never spelled saorse. As Saoirse Ronan has said, "It's Saoirse, like inertia."

@karlronan7244 i know its never spelled saorse. i was saying IF it was spelled saorse you would be correct, but seeing as it isnt, you're wrong. saoirse ronan also just says it really fucking weirdly and has ruined a generation of americans who now think they know how to pronounce saoirse but get it wrong.

@feidhlimharrington2275 I'm afraid I must disagree with your last statement there. If she decides how her name should be pronounced then there it is. We cannot dispute it.

@karlronan7244 that's just not true. she can call herself sursha all she wants but that doesnt mean "saoirse" the name itself should now be pronounced like that

@feidhlimharrington2275 But she doesn't call herself Sursha. It's inertia, not inursha. I stand by my initial claim. The pronunciation is closer to sare than seer. And at this stage in our quirky debate, which I am enjoying, with a smile, as I hope you are too, I would dearly love another Saoirse to help us out here.

@karlronan7244 idk i could ask my cousin saoirse but im not gonna drag her onto a yt comment section

@feidhlimharrington2275 Sure thing, and understood. I've enjoyed the wee debate but I reckon there we must leave it. A pleasure talking to you, and all the best!

Seere-sha

Translate to Chinese (Taiwan)

Ever since watching “Hanna” the movie I learned how to pronounce Saoirse: // Seer-shuh //. Soairse Ronan played the lead character so well, I had to respect her unique talents by at least knowing her name.
