    ROFL Taff, I think the Si-be-on was just because they didn't know how it was really pronounced.
    I think there are alot of these out there... where people see the name written and and assume they are pronounced as they are spelt!

    I looked after a little girl Rachelle which I (and I hope most people or I am the silly one here ) pronounce as Ra-shell and her parents pronounced it Rachel.
    I also worked with a lady whose name was spelt Mary-Anne, she pronounced it Mariam.
    Argh, I had another one but it is gone, if I remember I will be back .
