I was talking to my girlfriend today who is expecting a little boy in May. Her husband and her are having a debate on the spelling of a name. She wants to name him Seamus but her husband is afraid that people will mispronounce it so he wants to spell it Shamus. Well to her she sees SHAMUs. What do you personally thing about the spellings? Would you know how to pronounce Seamus?

i know how to pronounce seamus. i think that it is a case of, either a person knows, or you go "its like how sean isnt "see-n" but "shaw-n" and call it a day. though personally i think that seamus has become mainstream enough that more people than not would know how to pronounce it.

i really dont like shamus.
