IT’S REALLY NOT that big a deal, but a curious pattern of Saoirse Ronan’s stellar career in Hollywood has been the movie industry’s collective lack of ability to pronounce her name.

The celebrity world is littered with unconventional names that they seem to manage grand – but there’s something about Saoirse:

So, with Lady Bird being hyped across the board for an Oscar nomination, now’s the time to collect all the worst injustices committed against her name in one place:

This week, Alfre Woodard stumbled all over it when she was announcing her Golden Globe nomination earlier this week

It starts around 12.45 in.

She has since apologised.

Back in 2015, Dennis Quaid put in a Hall of Fame effort at the Golden Globes nominations announcement

Even when she was at the Oscars back in 2008 her name was a stumbling block

Ah, Saoirse Roning.

And the nomination itself didn’t go much better

That starts around 57 seconds in, and you almost have to feel for him being up there with absolutely no preparation done at all.

This Fox presenter went with ‘Sh-eersha’ back in 2013

She repeated it back to Richard Gere a few times on Graham Norton with a helpful rhyme

Arriving on the Oscars red carpet in 2016, every photographer was roaring out some version of ‘Sorcha’

She provided a full list of the ridiculous efforts to James Corden a couple of years ago

And finally, trawling the archives, you can even find Colin Farrell going with Saoirse ‘Ryan’ at the IFTAs in 2008

The name is cursed.
