Re: How do you pronounce the name "Senan"?
Actually, Seanán is more like Shan-AWN. This is because Sean is said as Shan. With the Shan-AWN pronunciation you can see how Shannon comes from Seanán.Senan or Senán would not be Shan-an or Shan-awn or because "Sen" is said differently to "Sean".Senan would be Sen-AN and Senán would be Sen-AWN. It's usually spelt Senan though(no fada) and pronounced accordingly.

Noted. My sources were incorrect then. The intermet has that problem... I knew Shannon came from Seanán though, as that is my name. :)
