Watched it again. OK, it got slow for a minute there, but holy shit.

Where he's walking off at the end screaming "SHAUUUUNNNN" in his totally-fine kid's ear....

My brain still reads "Sean" as seen even though my mouth knows to pronounce it shawn.

Schõn Shon ShAnne Shtan (the t is silent) Scheahn Shean Sean

Sorry, it's pronounced /sēn/.

Like 'sea' with an 'n' afterwards.

My mother saw a dolphin in the sea. She thought it was clever combining 'sea' and 'dolphin' and have it pronounced as 'seen', the past participle of 'see'.

It was a beautiful scene.

So is that actor's name pronounced "Seen Been" or "Shawn Bawn"?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I remember (from somewhere...) someone once said their name was pronounced as say-on. Sorta like how séance is pronounced.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Super common name. Still have to spell it out for people.

[–] AwesomeLowlander 6 points 1 day ago

It's not like there's a single standard way to spell it
