btw my name is Siobhan (pronunced Shavon).  My children will also have fun to pronounce Gaelic names too!  .

 A girl in my biology class back in high school has an Anglicized spelling of Siobhan, spelled Chevon.  Likely done so that teachers wouldn't have problems pronouncing her name.
ETA: Siobhan isn't embarassing/harsh in the English language.
