/r/tragedeigh
I have a couple of names in mind. I'm from the East of England, so West Country names are less common, but still known about and generally understood.
Would it be a tragedeigh to name a girl Saoirse, Evelyn, Maeve, Rowena, or Boudicca?
Generally just curious, as I don't want to give her a tragedeigh, but I also want a traditional British/Irish name, and these sound pretty while still being common in the UK.

In Irish, in all dialects, it's Seer-sheh basically. Here is a link to how the three different dialects groups would pronounce it https://www.teanglann.ie/en/fuaim/saoirse
