Thread Name: Help: Meaning od Siobhan???
Subject: RE: Help: Meaning od Siobhan???
An Irish name which is becoming quite popular in these parts is Aislin, which I think is actually spelled Aisling. But it doesn't matter, because while I've heard it's pronounced Ashleen or Ashlyn, people around here pronounce it the way it's spelled - A-slynn, long "a". Which makes me a little bit crazy but then I was a little bit crazy to begin with! :o) Not nearly so as my non-Irish husband was, though, when I told him I wanted to name our child Siobhan Aislin. Fortunately for him, we had a boy and called him Cory Michael (he was born 26 years ago today) which went well with our German sounding last name but my father assumed Cory was short for Cornelius because after all there is no St. Cory!
