p.s i thought siobhan was jsut shaun lol?

It is like the name St John pronounced Sinjin or Sian pronounced Sharn or Xcjjg pronounced Pete ( well I made that last one up). My youngest son lives in Ireland( why is it that both of my sons live in different countries to me- was I that bad a father?) and he can decipher Gaelic and did explain it all to me once. It sounds nice when he says it and is a poetic language by the sounds of things.
-
haha what country does your other son live in? nice made up example by the way...
-
The elder one lives in Columbus Ohio, USA. Excellent pianist and wonderful singer and writes great songs but doesn't care for the music business much.
-
kool... oh wait i remember now.... wasnt your son the guy who was like master of piano and did recordings... or was that someone else? so cool even if its not the right person- id love to live in ohio- just for the name if nothing else.
-
yes that is him Sambo. He is not playing at the moment as he can't afford a decent keyboard but if I can get him one I'd love to as he could earn himself good money. He had a great band when he lived here and used to go down a storm wherever he played but he did not like the cr@p that comes with it.
-
ahh wicked.... i think i said this before but id love to hear him... i love piano stuff as well as guitar.... shame hes not out there doing his thing.... good luck with getting him a keyboard mate hope it goes well.

you fu c kwit, siobhan is an irish name.
Chevaun is an anglicisation because it's easier to pronounce when it's spelt phonetically.
Gah.
-
yer indy... YOU POO!
i knew it was irish... thats about as far as my knowledge took me....

don't worry guys, its obviously just another drunk irishman with tourettes.
Why didn't the irish spell it rightly the first time? Seriously, being irish is no excuse for poor spelling...or is it?

i dunno, why do the english spell throo "through"?
-
i dont know whether to laugh or cry.... :roll:
-
but the thing is, thru and through are somewhat related - kinda look the same. chevaun and Siobhan are completely unrelated, haha.

bh in irish = v. Much like ph in english = f. It's very simple. The irish also have a habit of throwing in random vowels that don't do anything to how the word is pronounced, you get used to it after a while ( i don't speak any irish, by the way, this is as far as i can tell, lol).
and wtf does that g do in "through"? they don't look remotely the same.
another example: lieutenant is pronounced leftenant, unless you're american. that's as messed up as any irish word i've seen. english is one of the hardest languages to learn if it isn't your first language.

Siobhan is phonetic. It's just not phonetic English. Happens all the time, you know. The name Bella is pronounced Bay-Uh in Spanish, because that's how they say double Ls.
Yeah, I know: I'm being serious again. I studied linguistics at university.
-
Trevor is often pronounced wan**r (I rest my case)
The people who really get on my tits are the uber Irish where Irish names are not Irish enough.
Mind you it usually involves really bad beards and looking like you havn't washed
Rob...
-
wow i never knew that about the name trevor... :?
'uber irish' haha what a phrase...

exactly. I don't even speak irish. I was just pointing out to indy that what he was saying about irish could apply equally to english- even worse perhaps, since because english is an amalgamation of latin/french/german/friesian/anglo-saxon/viking etc, there's no real true phonetic spelling in it- most words take their phonetics from the original language from which the word came. Irish looks daft, but if you studied it, it'd make sense (ditto german/french/whatever), unlike english. English is my first language, and most of the time I'm going "OMGWTF, why the hell has "demesne" got an "s" in it?" etc. (it's from french presumably).
-
yer english is weird like that....
-
je parlerai en français, mehehehehe
To be honest - my question was answered right at the beginning of this thread - i never knew Siobhan was an irish name til then :P

In all honesty, not understaing and being able to pronounce Siobahn correctly just shows up your own ignorance of the language variations of the UK. ;)
How would you pronounce Niamh (another Irish name) indysmith?
And no, I'm not Irish. :P
Muttley

A teacher I know in Brighton has lots of kids in her class from estates. She always comes up with a few 'names' of her kids when i see her but the one that sticks in my head is a boy named 'Governor'. How can you call your kid that?! :roll:

:lol: :lol: :lol:
i'll put you guys out of your misery.
neeve. EDIT: really irish people (i.e. people who live there with the accent and all) sometimes pronounce it ni-ave as well- say it quickly though, and it's neeve.
didn't i post earlier that "mh" in irish was "v"? and there's a couple of random vowels in the middle too... :lol:
-
woah thats crazy
-
rather scary...
-
Did you all make up your names whilst under the influence of something?! It makes no sense!
-
I wint to school with a few wierdly named people
Kitchner Coote, Lancalot Rock (I kid you not), Phil McCann (sounds like Fill my can), and a guy whose middle name was Gaffakin (this ine is a phonetic spelling).
All in all most of them would have been better off with a number.
Rob...

Some great ones when I worked Offshore over here.
Richard Head (not best known in USA like w**ker, but to me hillarious) and had an idiot working on my crew for bout a week before I sent him home who called his son Blade Andrew (he liked the movie Blade, sheesh) and his surname was DuBleu (Cajun) so initials were BAD. That kid better be bigger than his dad or he will get a serious a**kicking for years at school lol.
-

Well if I hadn't said it somebody else would have.
From bitter experiance fiancees and wives are seldom pleased anyway (runs for cover)

There's a place in the US called Intercourse. I bet they sell out of post cards fairly often.
-
i think there's a place in donegal called muff...
and there's a tiny village about 3 miles from my house called bush...
back to the irish jokes...
:lol:
-
teehee
did anyone here about that town/city/village called 'omen' and there was a sign somewhere near it which read "omen 666" (as in 666 miles or something)
-
i just remembered there is another place in oz that i went to called ravenshoe, while i was there i was in a shop and there was a post card of a place called 'Buggery bend'
i had to go and see it!!
there was no buggering taking place though, thankfully
-
Wasnt there a town in Austria called "$%&#" or something, and its sign kept getting stolen by English holidaymakers :lol: :lol:
-
Re stolen traffic signs: Since februari there is an offical ban on smoking pot in the streets in one particular neigbourhood in Amsterdam. Off course, diligent as we Dutchies are, a menacing red edged sign was developed and placed to warn the tourists.
As expected, the first and scond ones placed lasted less than 24h before being removed by souvenir hunters. After that some more were pinched, so the district council decided to respond by offering the signs up for sale for €90. Incredibly, more than 350 were ordered already. I live in a very weird country for sure :mrgreen:
-
hahaahhaha excellent.... i want one of those signs!
-
Shouldn't there be a line through the centre of the sign if it's banning pot smoking? It looks more to me like it's signifying a pot-smoking zone or something.
-
thats what i was thinking.... but come on.... i mean.... they are dutch after all....
-
no you'd only have a line if it was referring to coke - -ok, but someone had to- might as well be me.
-

Oh, that's bad. :? :lol:

Don't think English has anything to boast about regarding spellings and pronunciation, now does it :roll:

I hate Siobhan too.
She's my girlfriends sister and she does $%&# all, no job, no housework, has a bad attitude, abuses the dog and is jealous of my relationship with her sister just cos hers has gone down the toilet.
That's better.
Andy!

What about Edinbra spelled "Edinburough" ?
-
Not sure why I'm bothering but I'm new here so I have to start somewhere. I promise I'm not anal...just thorough(!)
Siobhan is the Gaelic form of Joan. Judith and Julia are variants. Gaelic is a language in its own right and therefore has no link to your proposed phoenetic spellings in English.
The marvel of the internet...http://www.ireland-information.com/heraldichall/irishgirlsnames.htm
An interesting one is "Menzies" pronounced "Ming". I can't remember going down to the "John Ming" newsagents and getting 20 Embassy, so I guess both pronouciations are valid.
Your spelling is interesting because the "Ch" being pronouced as "Sh" dirives from the influence of French. So in itself, your example is self-damning. I admit this is often difficult to avoid!
Oh...I have a BC-Rich Warlock NJ Series (circa 1997) fitted with a very special Warpig on the bridge and a DiMarzio Super Distortion on the Neck. I use a POD to a Power-Amp into a Marshall 4 x12 cab. I also have a Fender Jazzmaster '62 re-issue in the classic tobacco suburst finish, with no modifications.
