My brain still reads "Sean" as seen even though my mouth knows to pronounce it shawn.

Sorry, it's pronounced /sēn/.

Like 'sea' with an 'n' afterwards.

My mother saw a dolphin in the sea. She thought it was clever combining 'sea' and 'dolphin' and have it pronounced as 'seen', the past participle of 'see'.

It was a beautiful scene.

So is that actor's name pronounced "Seen Been" or "Shawn Bawn"?

I remember (from somewhere...) someone once said their name was pronounced as say-on. Sorta like how séance is pronounced.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Super common name. Still have to spell it out for people.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago

It's not like there's a single standard way to spell it
