SADHBHS (AND SAIDBHS, and Saibhs) of the world, gather round.
It’s time to recognise the hardships you’ve been through, the explanations you’ve come up with, the confused looks, and the mangled attempts at your beautiful Irish name.
There was the time the Telegraph had to explain that Sharon Horgan’s daughter’s name was not a typo
They were writing about Sharon’s Catastrophe character calling her daughter ‘Muireann’.
All those times this question was asked
The time this UK-based Sadhbh just gave in
And this Sadhbh just accepted things
The time this Sadhbh was called Five
And of course a shoutout to all these Sadhbhs
At least Sives have it easier
It’s the go-to phonetic spelling.
(Except when they’re calling you ‘sieve’)
Shoutout to this courageous Sadhbh
And all the Sadhbhs!
