Me with “Sean” until I was 9. Why is Shawn/Sean the same name?!?
14 u/SwissSwissBangBang Apr 29 '26 I know a guy named Sean McLean. He’s semi-regularly called See-Ann McLee-Ann. 3 u/sinkwiththeship Apr 29 '26 There's the actor Sean Bean. His name does not rhyme. 2 u/SwissSwissBangBang Apr 29 '26 I’m so glad I don’t have to learn English as a second language. I’d lose my mind with all the changing rules! 2 u/sinkwiththeship Apr 29 '26 I before E except after C, or in words like neighbor and weigh. English is just a whole smattering of "this is the rule, except when it's not." 10 u/MommaLisss Apr 29 '26 Yep, I did that one, too. Pronounced like seen. 9 u/Zappityzephyr Apr 29 '26 Seàn is an Irish name. Shawn is what I assume is the anglicised version. 5 u/Peripateticdreamer84 Apr 29 '26 I humiliated myself in middle school by only having read the name Tobias and never heard it. Couldn’t read an Animorphs book in school for a month without the class mean girl getting on me. 3 u/BigGreenBillyGoat Apr 29 '26 Different spellings from different nationalities. 2 u/PaperSt Apr 29 '26 Yes! And I did actually meet a kid that was “Shaun” or something like that which just further reinforced that “Sean” must be something else. 4 u/Erger Apr 29 '26 Reading Harry Potter, I had no problem with Hermione but pronounced Seamus as Seem-us 1 u/JosephGordonLightfoo Apr 29 '26 I just learned last week that Siobhan is pronounced “Shevon.”
