#sorchas

hey im from england but my mum is from dublin. my name is sorcha and my irish side of the family pronounce it like soh-ri-ca or sometimes si-ri-ca. i was just wondering whether anyone with the same name (or who knows someone named sorcha) pronounces it the same way? this is probably a stupid thing to get upset over but like when i was in school there was an irish teacher who told me i was saying my name wrong and still insisted this was the case even when i told her my mum was irish and my whole irish side of the family pronounces my name this way. she said i should be saying sor-ka (which i know is one way to say it- i just thought my family’s way was right too). again i know it’s such a small dumb thing to get upset over really but it’s my name you know? it’s part of my identity and it’s still something i think and worry about to this day. i got bullied at school as well- not because of my name (because i was weird and quiet lol) but my name was used to bully me so i think i just have a lot of issues surrounding this. i like my name now but i used to hate it. im 100% making a big deal out of nothing here but, you know, gotta be a drama queen sometimes.
