I've been lurking on this comm for forever lol.

But I finally decided to post something. 

what are your opinions on these names.

Sian (pronounced Sharn) thats my name.

Bethan (pronounced Beth-anne) my  13 yr old sister

Riona (rhymes with Fiona) my 11 yr old sister.

EDIT: I am British, Sian & Bethan are both Welsh names and Riona is (i think) Irish


Also one of my mums hairdressers relatives has a little girl called:

Heaven-Leigh (pronounced Heavenly) 

WTF????

I'm confused on Sian being "sharn". Not that I disbelieve it, but I know Siannan is pronounced "shannan", so I'm not sure where the R comes from.

It's screwin' with mah head! :D

sorry about that lol.

Sian is the female version of Sean(Shaun) but it has more of an Ah sound in the middle rather than the uh sound in Sean

sorry if that doesn't help much either. i'm so used to it, its hard to explain to anybody with out saying it :)

I think it's pronounced like "Sean" in America. She's from the UK. :o)

Maybe it's the accent, but in the UK there's quite a distinct difference between the pronunciation of Sean and Sian. Sean is like shawn/shorn and Sian is like shahn/sharn.

That's definitely a UK thing.
Here, unless it's a distinctly local dialect, it's all "shahn/sharn".
