She had every privilege. She chose drugs. Where were her parents.

1. No, it doesn't. You are a relatively simple, unsophisticated person, huh?

2. Why would you say something horrible about a dead child's name on a thread discussing her?

Knowing the pronunciation of obscure or 'common' Irish names makes on sophisticated? At least you have a sense of humor, i'd give you that.

It isn't obscure! I am from Boston. I knew multiple girls with this name, all American. Maybe this is a New England UMC trend, but even so, there are contemporary actresses and writers with this name.

But the more pressing part of my observation is, again, WHY WOULD YOU SAY SOMETHING HORRIBLE ABOUT A DEAD CHILD'S NAME ON A THREAD DISCUSSING HER?

I repeat, why?

What exactly is all 'American'about that name ? Asking how you pronounce such a name isn't an horrible thing to say . Furthermore, a 22 yr old woman is NOT a child.

Dp. I was told and heard it pronounced Sur-sha, rhymes with inertia.

No, it only rhymes with inertia if you have a Dublin accent, like actress Saoirse Ronan. My Northern Irish colleague pronounces it (his daughter's name) like SOAR-sha. Other Irish people I know pronounce it more like SOAR-sha, too. I can't render their accents phonetically in exactly the right way, but that's the closest I can get. Imagine a little twist of an "ee" sound in the first syllable, but it sounds more like SOAR.

Are you saying Saoirse Ronan is saying her name wrong? I don't think so! Perhaps both pronouncations are correct, pp?

How do you know that? Most of the articles refer to a family source saying she od’d.

Why do nasty, hateful church ladies love to keep reminding us of the unforgivable sins of the Kennedy's? I've heard it before, such hate and sanctimonious judgment on the dead Kennedys from the wrinkled lips of pearl clutching church ladies. Is it political or racist?

Your post says more about you than any pearl clutchers. Why is it hateful or sanctimonious to point out what Ted Kennedy did? I haven't set foot inside a church in more than a decade but eve

n I know Ted Kennedy did something wrong and got off scot free because of who he was.

As for racist? Rich white boy evaded the law because he was a rich white boy and you're crying racism?

Hate of Irish Catholics is racism.

Yes, both pronunciations are correct, but the way Saorse Ronan says it is not the most common way. A PPP thought that there was only one way to say it because of what she'd heard the actress say.

A bit like Clara as either KLAR-ah or KLAIR-ah.

Well. The other pp said there was only the northern Irish way. Clearly thete ate many words you can pronounce differently. I was only pointing out another way.

They were our neighbors here in McLean and we never had an unpleasant experience with Ethel or the kids/family. It's unfair to call them trashy. Stop piling on.

You mean in Langley

Hickory Hill is in McLean near Dolley Madison Library, right? Is Langley an actual town?

Hickory Hill is in Mclean, not near the library. Ethel doesn't live there anymore.

Yes, I know Ethel sold the property several years ago. But there is a road a few houses down from Dolley Madison Library on the left that is called Hickory Hill Lane/Rd -- is this not the Hickory Hill estate? I just assumed it led to the Robert/Ethel Kennedy former home.
