Siobhan (Pronounced something like Sho-vaan) is a nice name for a girl.

I think it's Irish. Seen it several times in Irish shows and actresses who I thought were English.

Nolan is also a decent English name for a boy. Not sure why everyone is laughing.
It is pronounced sher-von.

Ang Sioban imo is the best combo. (red hot bun)

In the context of Singapore, kinda stupid to call your kid Siobhan, she will constantly be telling people how to pronounce her name. Just give a normal name that most Asians will know how to say

Nolan still ok

luckily the younger gen are not fluent in dialect, otherwise Siobhan would become Sio-ghan
