made up the name so they can spell it any way they want. It's the original spelling, and the spelling I prefer if one is to be named Sean (or other homophonic spelling).

I suppose you wouldn't like the Irish "Iain" either for Ian.

refunder

4/15/14 3:04pm

Or the Meechigan "Ann" for Ian. As in "Ian Arrberr" where U of M play

With an Irish Accent that would sound cool
