| I was reading it like it was in Spanish "sah-o-ear-say" |

| I have a FB acquaintance who named her kid Saoirse. I have no clue how to pronounce it. In my head I guess I say Soar-Say. |

| Surely you wouldn't do that to a kid. |

| Sa-wor-si. Rhymes with Sakorsky. |

| I love Irish names, but I'd never use that one outside Ireland itself. I grew up with a Siobhan, and every year the teachers would butcher her name. |

| In my head I was saying say-or-say. I have a hard time remembering Gaelic pronounciations that don't follow English phonetics at all. |

| I love this name and know how to pronounce it but 99.9% of people will get it really wrong. |

I agree with these dudes. I didn't realize it was a name- it's just, bizzare. |

I'd say Seer-sa
I have no idea if this is right. |
