My friend is called Saoirse, and she told me someone once called her Seahorse...

[Norp-im]

She must be SO SICK of talking about her name.

[isag]

“Manganiello” and “Ventimiglia” are italian surnames and as an Italian person I can totally promise you that those are not the correct ways to pronunce them 😂

[uqiyj]

I feel so sorry for Saoirse. Everytime she goes to America, the shtick is always "your name is weird lol, so we're going to base every interview on just that". So boring.

"it's NIKOLAJ"
- Charles Boyle

[RexVenge]

0:56 - I believe it's pronounced, "Jaime Fookin' Lannister"

[HeadCannon]

"Tea is my favorite thing. Imagine being called tea, that would be brilliant" has to be the most British sentence ever spoken by an Irish person

[nasti]

As a European it hurts how they pronounce the 'kov'and 'cos'parts. Saoirse pronounced it correctly.

[tsumichama]

"Tea's my favorite thing. Imagine being called Tea."

No wonder she's friends with Timothée "Sweet Tea" Chalamet.

[elvira]

She actually pronounces the names way better then the girl that’s correcting her!

[Deu_terio]

Funny thing here is that the current american pronuntiation of most of these names is still wrong. I can tell this for italian names: Manganiello and Ventimiglia aren't supposed to be pronounced like the person off-screen does.

[jeiraeth]

Those eyes are so enchanting that it looks like a glowing of crystal-clear cerulean water when a burst of gracious sunshine just kissed the deep blue sea.

I thought the video was about pronouncing names CORRECTLY and not the American way.


They corrected her even when she was spot-on. Also, she got Gadot wrong and they corrected it as „Ga-dote“, it‘s pronounced the way it‘s spelled: GadoT.

[SuuuSperia]

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is not pronounced as ‘coaster’ 😂 Saoirse was pretty spot on, actually.

[kitkatashley]

shes amazing. she was brilliant in I could never be your woman at such a young age. i fell in love with her after watching atonement and the lovely bones

[dianasciamana]

I love how she's like no big deal on intricate Eastern Europe names, but she just can't with italians XD Much love from lake Como Saoirse <3

[laust-bchldd]

They pronounced Costerwaldau wrong...
source: am Danish.

[Shakedownsss]

I like how she demanded a point she didn’t even ask “You give me that one” 😂 I like her

In college, my roommate was called Eilidh (AY-lee). We had our names on the door, and I lost count of the number of times someone knocked on the door and said “Is your name really eye-lid?”

[windenduved]

Lol as an actual danish guy I can say that Saoirse pronounced Nikolaj Coster-Waldau way better than the woman behind the camera
