PIC: Saoirse Ronan wears sandwich board that shows how to say her name on Ellen

We wonder if she’ll wear it to the Oscars?

Saoirse Ronan may be among the favourites to pick up an Academy Award for her role in Brooklyn, but she’s had a lot of difficulty trying to get people to pronounce her name properly.

Ryan Gosling tried to intervene a couple of months ago, but the 21-year-old had to take matters into her own hands on The Ellen Degeneres Show. She wore a sandwich board.

We’re still not convinced. While we’re reluctant to tell her how to pronouce her own name, we would have thought Seer-Sha was closer to the mark.

It doesn’t really matter, does it? Let’s just hope Shooshie Rowan wins that Oscar.
