[quote=Anonymous]My (ES age) daughter is friends with a Saoirse. The adults stumble over it more than the kids do and I don't think there's any reason for that to prevent you from using a lovely and meaningful name. Kids come into a classroom at the beginning of the year, see names spelled out at the top of their classmates' desks and attach them to the student sitting there. They don't carry any baggage about how a name "should" be spelled, whether it's easy enough for Americans to pronounce, whether their parents should be "allowed" to use it, etc. until an adult frames it that way. Realistically, they will have classmates from families that don't speak English as their primary language and have names reflecting that origin. What will you tell your kids about those names?[/quote]
