| 319.1 | Either way? | BITS1::HAGEN |  | Thu Dec 01 1988 12:03 | 1 | 
|  | 	It's probably either way, like Sean and Shawn.

|  |     I've seen it spelt something like    SIOHBAN     I don't think
    that entirely correct, but it's real close.  There's a note in
    the file with that spelling also.  I don't know the note #

| 319.3 | SIOBHAN | RUTLND::SWITCHBOARD |  | Thu Dec 01 1988 12:26 | 5 | 
|  | 	I've seen it spelled  SIOBHAN.  Years ago when I was competing
    
    in Irish Step dancing all Siobhan's I knew spelled it this way.
    
    Write them all out and see which one you like best !

|  |     My friend has just had a little girl and called her
    "SIOBHAIN" This is the proper Gaelic spelling, it
    is the Irish for Julie or Julia
    The choice is your to drop the "I"
    
    Hope this helps

| 319.7 | More on Siobhan | ATLAST::ANDERSON | Give me a U, give me a T... | Mon Feb 13 1989 21:25 | 25 | 
|  | 	My dictionary (Dunkling and Gosling) lists "Siobhan" as the
	correct -- i.e., Gaelic -- spelling.  It also, however,
	lists some of the following variants:
	  Shavon
	  Shavone
	  Shavonne
	  Shevon
	  Shivohn
	  Shevonne
	  Chavon
	  Chavonne
	  Chevon
	  Chevonne
	  Chivone
	Like all Irish names (Sean/Shawn was a good example), it's a
	losing battle trying to keep the original spelling.  When it
	comes to names, spelling usually follows pronunciation.  My
	dictionary lists Shavon and Shavonne as the variants that
	will most likely become standard.
	BTW, it's Irish for Joan.

|  |     My brother and his wife just named their little girl Devon Siobhan.
    Very different!  I liked their original choice Nicolette!
