It took me a while to properly pronounce these names after doing some research on them.

The first time I was exposed to Siobhan was in Orphan Black, so I knew how to pronounce it from the show. First time I saw Saoirse was in Nioh so I learned how to pronounce it there.

The 'bh' in Siobhan is pronounced like a 'v' instead. As is the 'mh' in Caoimhe. So they're "sho-vahn" and "kevih." And yes, that is where the name Kevin comes from.

If you watched SNL in the early to mid 90's, you know how to pronounce Siobhan.

Sounds like Irish names.
I mispronounced them on purpose if they didn't tell me the correct pronunciation.

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you posted will be misquoted, then be used against you.
