Re: How to pronounce this name
Hating the fact that my name #12 on the list of baby names from the year of my birth, and that it was frequently mistaken for Jason (God only knows why...), the number #2 name on the list for that year, I decided to name my son a simple, Scottish, original yet pronounceable, Biblical name of "Ian" and I've been pretty happy with that... so far I've encountered 1 other "Ian" his age, amongst the seemingly countless Ethans, Aidens, Jaydens, Calebs, etc (the top 4 names for the year of his birth).
Thankfully we didn't have a girl, my wife was dead set on Isabel, which happens to be the #7 name on the list for that year. Of all the people we know who were pregnant at the same time, 4 of the 6 or so we knew had daughters and named all 4 Isabel (or Isabella).
Have fun and throw far. In that order, too. - o1d_dude

Oi. Try seeing your name in the top four. I used to have a pretty uncommon name...

I guess I don't need to worry about that.

Re: How to pronounce this name
Seumas, it's pretty popular in Star Valley, WY actually. A lot of the Scottish handcart saints were sent to settle here and there are quite a few people that gave their children family names.
