Pick a favorite, just for the hell of it:

Saoirse Camille
Saoirse Clementine
Saoirse Ruby
Saoirse Genevieve
Saoirse Felicity
Saoirse Seraphine


(p.s. If you aren't familiar with the name Saoirse, it's pronounced seer-sha and is a Gaelic word for "freedom." I am aware that it's grafitti-ed all over Dublin by Irish nationalists; I doubt I'll ever live anywhere outside of Louisiana, much less overseas or in the UK, so I think I'd be safe using it. Getting people to pronounce and spell it correctly would be a whole other hassle, but for now let's just pretend that people aren't assholes. Pick your favorite combination!)

thanks! of that list, i like jane and wren. i also love briar, but pronounce it with two syllables.

[tigress-oils.livejournal.com]

ooh, also blythe.


saoirse blythe.

hm. it's a little over-the-top, but i'll roll it around for a while and see if i warm to it a little more.

It might be a bit too words as names? I do love Blythe though. And although I find Saoirse to be a bit brain boggling (in an OMG how do you pronounce that way), I completely understand your reasons for liking it. :)
Of the combos you list, I like Saiorse Felicity the best. I realise that's also a two word-name combo, but I think most people are more familiar with Felicity as a name than a word!

that's what i was thinking about both blythe and felicity. hmm.

yeah, i'm not sure the person who made that list quite knows what a syllable is. i mean, how to you say "gia" in one syllable. GYA! Nope, I can't do it.

Lol seriously... same thing with 'Lia' and 'Mia'.. and isn't 'Lourdes' 2 syllables?.. I know it isn't pronounced 'Lords'

[tigress-oils.livejournal.com]

i usually pronounce the place "lourds" (i.e. "saint bernadette of lourdes") and the name "lour-des," because that's how madonna's daughter's name is pronounced.

If you say Gio (as in, short for Giovanna or Giovanni) it's just 'jo' because gi is j in Italian, but I can't think that 'ja' is likely for a name! I guess you could argue for something sounding like 'jeer' being one syllable but that's debatable (and would make a weird name).
