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.
