Comment left Mar 04, 2009: "I am born in 1988 and am Aussie. Can't believe it was the highest year on record!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 03, 2009: "I'm Sean as well. But I am Latino and I guess people are kind of taken aback to find out I have an Irish name. LOL. And to make things more complicated my full name is Sean Paul (named after Sean Lennon and Paul McCartney) so I guess for a Latino-American it IS a strange name but I love it just for that. :) And boy am I glad to see I'm not the only one to be called "Seen" - seriously is that even a name? some people are morons" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 24, 2008: "My name is Shawn but I casually spell it Sean.
I can not stand when a small percent of girls are named with a boys name and then everyone starts assuming that it's a girls name after that. Shawn is the anglicized version of Sean, because people couldn't pronounce it correctly. It is still a Guys name! People will call my house asking for Mrs. Shawn, it bugs the heck out of me when people assume things before finding out the facts!
I love my Irish heritage and my name, but do not like ignorant people!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 22, 2008: "I just wanted to say that i laughed when i read some ones comment in hear because it is exactly like me. My name is Sean Patrick too, with an irish last name. So ignorant people always assume Sean isn't an Irish name, so when there like your Irish? Im like yea, my name is Sean... and my middle name is Patrick and look at my last name..."

Comment left Dec 18, 2008: "My brother (born in 1960) is named Sean. Our father was of Celtic Irish heritage, which is the reason why he chose that name. I never heard of anyone else named Sean/Shawn/Shaun until 1966, when my mother and I saw a young woman named Sean on a TV game show, and I couldn't help but antagonize my brother about it. I was very mean to my brother, but I'm autistic, though that is not an excuse. He had a much greater problem with people pronouncing his name as "seen" than with being mistaken for being a girl. (I don't know how he feels about Shawn Colvin or Shawn Johnson or Mary Sean Young, but I won't bug him about them.)" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 19, 2008: "SEAN IS A GREAT IRISH NAME LONG MAY IT REIGN, MY NAME IS "Sean O Dubhlainn" and i have Irish kings in my linage and proud of it- so those who dont like it- too bad my friends, but it is mostly a much loved name- God Bless- Sean" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 03, 2008: "I prefer this spelling. I recently elected to have my name legally changed to this from a variant spelling. I'm surprised so many of you have experienced incidents of people spelling the name incorrectly; when I was using the other spelling, people always assumed I spelled it "S-e-a-n". As I am about to launch a career that will require many professional connections, I chose to go with the "default" spelling to minimize any future confusion." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 30, 2008: "My brother's name is "Sean". I think it is a great Irish name, but I think it would be even cooler if was not so popular." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 03, 2008: "My name is sean and the other day someone pronounced my name seaen" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 28, 2008: "My name is also Sean. I have an Irish background and whenever people who've known me for a while find out, their shocked and I look at them like the light just clicked; since my first and second name together is Sean Patrick, then they piece it all together with my last name (also Irish) and feel real dumb. Another neat thing is that I have one grandfather named John and the other named Juan, as well their first sons share their names John and Juan too, all different varieties of the same name. This past month at work i had two incidents: one lad called me "Seen" and couldn't understand my name until i explained how to say it. Another did the same and insisted that it was in fact not "Sean" and my name was misspelled, nor was it and Irish... yeah she was from Kentucky so I figured she was a lost hope anyway. The worst anyone has spelled my name was "Shauwn"... i mean come on, 4 letters everyone S-E-A-N" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 19, 2008: "Oh man, all the same comments. I too know the torment of being called Seen. I always wondered, honestly, is anyone named "Seen?" To makes things even more interesting, my sister in law is named Shaun. Too wierd." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 12, 2008: "My name is Sean and i'm Brazilian. I've never met a person called Sean, even when i went to states and spent 6 months there going to high school as a foreign student. I've always been the only Sean at school and at work. Sometimes it really bothers me having to teach people how to pronounce my name.. This week a guy came to the company where I work to delivery some documents and no one could find out who the document was to cuz he was looking for "Seen". LOL... Despite all this, i love my name and really appreciate mom and dad's choice! Thanks Sean Connery and Sean Lennon for the help." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Feb 11, 2008: "this name is one of the top names i can tell you that, and people do prononce it like seen some times if its spelled sean.I dont met to many others withthe same name much. it is one great name!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 11, 2008: "We waitd until the last hr @ lbour room 2 dcide on the name Sean,this merely bcos the name sounded cute n ok.it was a bonus 2 find out tht it means gift frm God. Frm Motb n Kb" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 02, 2008: "I like this spelling of Sean more than the others... it's more, I don't know, sophisticated." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Nov 27, 2007: "My name is Sean. I love my name. I often meet fellow Irish and Irish Americans with the name which doesnt bother me. but when i meet people with the name Shaun or Shawn i feel bad for them and their parents. People sued to mispronounce my name but i just shrugged and knew that it was their problem not knowing how to say a name." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 02, 2007: "born in 1975, i've encountered all sorts of people who had trouble pronouncing it. from habit, i go ahead and spell it.
i'm quite pleased with my name." (Report as inappropriate)
