Throughout her career, the 25-year-old has spoken about the fact that people can’t pronounce their first names, and she understands why.

The 92nd Academy Awards will air Sunday, February 9 at 8 p.m. ET.

Since making her acting debut almost two decades ago, Saoirse Ronan has racked up an impressive four Oscar nominations. Most recently, her captivating portrayal of Jo March in Greta Gerwig’s Little Women earned her a Leading Actress award.

Although there is no doubt that she is an experienced attendee at the awards ceremony, the presenters have difficulty mastering the pronunciation of her name. Fans of the actress may remember Dennis Quaid’s failed attempt when she announced her 2016 Golden Globes nomination for best actress in the hit drama.

With the Oscars 2020 ahead of us, the American-Irish star is bound to announce her name again — but hopefully this time people will be ready to pronounce it correctly.

How do you pronounce Saoirse?

Saoirse is pronounced Sur-sha.

The actress is aware of the trouble her name causes people and she sympathizes with those who fumble with it.

“Yes, I am very Irish and I have an extremely Irish name. Some would say too Irish,” she said on Saturday Night Live in 2017. “It’s Saoirse, it means freedom, but I have a little problem. See it’s misspelled, well, it’s misspelled. It’s a complete typo… You can see why people are having a hard time.”

Luckily, TV host Ellen DeGeneres gifted the Little Women star a handy little token to clear up the confusion.

Common tropes, Fanon & themes

Javert/Jean Valjean is the most popular Valjean ship in fandom and one of, but not the most popular, Les Mis ships overall. In the Valvert fandom, Javert is generally treated with sympathy, while in the Les Amis side of the fandom he is used primarily as a villain. However, there are exceptions and overlaps to this rule.

race

While Javert is almost always portrayed by white actors, it is heavily implied in the novel that Javert is at least half Roma. His Roma heritage is sometimes explored in fan fiction and fan art. This is sometimes controversial as not all fans agree with this interpretation of Javert’s race and find it problematic that the main antagonist is the only person of color.

first name

As he is never given a first name in the novel, Javert’s first name is the subject of much speculation and hoax in the fandom.
