Unless your parents are actually Irish or of recent Irish descent. My Mum's parents (Doyles) specifically chose the English spelling to separate her from the other Shelaghs in the family! Personally I would have chosen another name....?

Funnily enough, Nan (English) liked the name because it couldn't be abbreviated. Famous last words of any parent I think. Granddad still calls her She or Sheel when he's not calling her gel.

The one that still rankles with me is Caitlin pronounced Kate-Lynn. I was at school with a coshleen and I can't hear it any other way in my head if I read it.
