[quote=Anonymous]To address a bunch of comments: Yes, Irish people name their Irish daughters names that are easily recognizable to Americans, like Grace. But of the top 100 names, 25% of them -- so, a lot -- are very definitively Irish names. There are still a lot of baby Aoifes being pushed in prams down Grafton Street. Also, I'm sure most Americans don't think twice about a name like Sarah (my name) and how, while everyone can pronounce the name, it nearly always has a spelling question (with or without an H). Katherine -- with a K or C? Zoe or Zoey? Vivien or Vivian or Vivienne? "Standard" white American names can have issues, too, and no one thinks twice about them. Not to mention the preponderance of "creative" spellings out in the world these days. Saoirse will just encounter more issues than most, but it's not like a curse. [/quote]
