Does anyone know how to pronounce Abi's real name: Siobhan Hayes? I know you can't tell me directly but which letters are silent? or does it sound like something completely different?

Cheers

Siobhan is an Irish name pronounced

Shuv - awn

Thanks very much. I can sleep at night again

I say shu-vaughan (as in Frankie Vaughan - sort of vorn)

Others say shu-von (as in Von Trapp).

My Irish friend Siobhan calls herself Vonny, to rhyme with Bonny.

We tend to pronounce it "shiv-von" over here, as others have said, it is an Irish name
