It's Gaelic. They pronounce letters different in that language.

By the way according to this link it's shuh-VAN. It's apparently an Irish version of Joan.
I like it. I actually like it more when you pronounce it incorrectly like you do... It makes it sound exotic.
I'm from the south USA and down here we spell it Chivonne, like how it
sounds. I never knew it was spelled the other way until Sarah Michelle Gellar's
new show came out a few weeks ago.
It's Irish and pronounced Shev-on.
Joke: Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Shev-on
Shevon who?
Shevon your knickers your mom's at the door!
Personally I hate the name Morag - it just sounds so doom and gloom!
The thing about Irish names is that they are spelled one way but are pronounced a completely different way! It's normal to hate it. I don't like The name Mordred (I think it's spelled like that) and some others.
I like it spelt "shevaun" Or "chevonne" though, I just think the way it's spelt "siobhan" is ugly :/
I hate it. I have a cousin called Chevonne which is pronounced the exact same way but Chevonne looks prettier.
But Siobhan is an irish name and you know how the irish are with spelling names.
I agree, it's pretty ugly. So is Matilda. Why would anyone in their right mind name their child Matilda.
It's an Irish thing. There are quite a few names spelled or pronounced unexpectedly. Niamh for example is pronounced as Neeve.
I hate the following names:
Gus, Bernard, Helga, Gilbert, Harold, Gertrude, Belinda, Maggie, Prudence, Horris, Melva, Russell, Lester, Herman, Eugene, Chester, Shawna, and Hector.
When Siobhan Magnus was a contestant on American Idol a couple of years ago, that was the first time I had encountered the name and I thought it was really bizarre. I made fun of her by calling her "Soy Ban". But eventually the name kind of grew on me and now I would consider giving an original character that name.
