	How could I miss STELLAAAAAAAAAAAAA!?!

	willwoodlen:	Jan 6th, 2012 at 18:29 GMT		3 points
	Given my family's taste for Irish names, not sure about the "Saiorse" comment, but another fun name quiz anyway.

	cmkeller:	Jan 6th, 2012 at 19:18 GMT		28 points
	Wait ten more years, and we'll see "Snooki" on the list.

	wistfulabacus:	Jan 6th, 2012 at 19:29 GMT		3 points
	willwoodlen, I'm dying to know how Saiorse is pronounced in US. Oddly, the US pronounciation of Caitlin has crossed back to Ireland, so now there are young Caitlins here (in Ireland) pronouncing their name like 'Kate Lynn'. In a decade will there be Saiorses, pronounced perhaps like 'say or see', here as well?

	I was wondering which decade I will fill in all 5 first and if it means anything. Turns out it was 1920 and yeah, it probably means something...lol.

	gellchom:	Jan 6th, 2012 at 19:33 GMT		4 points
	Fascinating that Susie was in the list for the early decades, but Susan wasn't.

	EmYanks2001:	Jan 6th, 2012 at 19:34 GMT		2 points
	my dad has the weird habit of renaming people random names, and my sister's friend daytona became stella... we use the name stella more than her real name... how did i miss her???

	Jamessir:	Jan 6th, 2012 at 19:35 GMT		9 points
	I'm surprised there weren't more Sigourney's in the 1980's. :)

	TJohnson23:	Jan 6th, 2012 at 19:45 GMT		-2 points
	I believe it's pronounced "score-sha" here. That's what they said when Saiorse Ronan was an actress in a movie.

	nightfloat:	Jan 6th, 2012 at 19:55 GMT		5 points
	I've never met a non-Irish Saoirse, but when it comes up on name boards it's usually given as SEER-sha.

	barnztormre:	Jan 6th, 2012 at 20:10 GMT		14 points
	If you were one of the 31.6% who got Sheila...Take a Bow.

	jasperwyld:	Jan 6th, 2012 at 20:58 GMT		6 points
	Gah, got Sarah but missed Sara. Curse you, typing skills!

	Cecispanda:	Jan 6th, 2012 at 21:02 GMT		7 points
	I didn't try Saoirse lol, but I did try Siobhan and Sile (and a whole bunch of other things that I knew wouldn't be up there -- I suck at name quizzes, but they're still fun.)

	Bretzky:	Jan 6th, 2012 at 22:42 GMT		4 points
	Savannah? I guess they won't have to make up a "performer's name".

	Bretzky:	Jan 6th, 2012 at 22:47 GMT		2 points
	@gellchom: As someone who has done extensive genealogical research, I can say that girls' names that end in "ie" were very popular in the later 19th century. If a name could be transformed into "name(ie)", then it's likely to have been more popular than the name from which it is derived.

	debbiedoesnothin:	Jan 6th, 2012 at 23:20 GMT		1 point
	Gah. I almost missed my mom's name Sandra and I did miss my cousin's name Stephanie - even though I grew up in the 70s and there's always been at least more than one Stephanie among my classmates, coworkers and acquaintances.

	eab21:	Jan 7th, 2012 at 01:35 GMT		9 points
	My sisters Sassafras, Sasquatch, and Salamander feel left out.

	aznemesis:	Jan 7th, 2012 at 02:07 GMT		9 points
	I knew one of the variant spellings would get me. Turns out, it was "Sallie."

	senordingdong:	Jan 7th, 2012 at 03:13 GMT		3 points
	It's quizzes like these that I wish I worked at a retirement home.

	sennomulo:	Jan 7th, 2012 at 03:32 GMT		2 points
	I know a Saoirse in the U.S. Pronounced "SUR-shuh".

	Rob42:	Jan 22nd, 2012 at 17:34 GMT		1 point
	Good and fun quiz. I got Sheila, thinking of the Aussies, but kicking myself for missing Sophia, because I used to know a woman called Sophia.

	JEJEE:	Feb 1st, 2012 at 14:29 GMT		6 points
	It's quite hard when you start to think of the likes "Svetlana" and "Sarcoidosis" before these ones :D.

	Michelle194:	Feb 26th, 2012 at 07:05 GMT		3 points
	@Rob42, I am Australian and have lived in Australia my entire life but I have never once met anyone actually named Sheila. Goes to show inaccurate Australian slang is.

	What no Shaniquah, thats a stereotype destroyed

	I was struggling and then an advert for Hustle (British TV show) popped up at the bottom of the screen, and one of the characters is called Stacey

	axgtd:	Feb 24th, 2013 at 17:31 GMT		1 point
	I tried "Stephenie" instead of "Stephanie". Curse you teen vampires !

	MickeyPearly:	Mar 10th, 2013 at 22:40 GMT		1 point
	Sadie, Sylvia, Sharon, Shannon, Samantha, Shelby, and Sydney were the ones I missed.
