True. It's also a mnemonic for how to pronounce Siobhan mostly correctly.

Ah, well if you replace the ff with v-v you'd be much closer.

Sigh-o-bhan? See-ob-han?

I’ve only seen this name written.

“Shi-von” or “shiv” for short. Like the woman in Succession.

So... how is it supposed to be pronounced? Like "see-bun", "sue-ban" etc.?
