    So, if you combine the Sio from Siobhan and the Imhe from Caoimhe, that's actually pronounced Jill.
    Because she's the Dominant of Sioimhe (Shiva) in Final Fantasy XVI.

      @IgniteBuzz Siofra means elf, Beibhinn is fair lady. Gobnait is the Irish for Deborah and Daithi the Irish for David. Beibhinn is Irish for radiant beauty, Blaithin is little flower (blathanna ard flowers), Cadhla for a girl is beautiful, for a man handsome.
      Siofra is pronounced Shefra.
      Beibhinn is pronounced Bevin.
      Gobnait is Gubnet.
      Daithi is Dawhe.
      Aoibheann is Aveen.

      It’s one thing to not know how to say it and ask for the pronunciation. It’s another to deliberately pronounce it wrong, not bother to learn and make fun of it as most of these fools do. People should at least familiarize themselves with foreign names if interacting with people.
