It does not sound like an "American made-up ghetto name"... Educated people will know how the name is pronounced...
Siobhan is one of the prettiest Irish names - albeit getting more popular, I believe. I would consider a different middle name, Sophia just doesn't flow well with it; and since Siobhan is an Irish name, I would try to find something more traditionally Irish as well. There are a billion to choose from!!

we pronounce it shi vonne. it's a lovely Irish name and the spelling is the Irish spelling and shouldn't be tampered with. Siobhan Maeve or use a family name.

Actually, it's pronounced Shi-vawn.
It's a lovely name - I went to high school with a girl with this name.
Don't do Sophia as the middle name with it, though Sophia is an awesome name. Pick something without an S-, and something simple - Ruth, Kelly, ...

Funny story. My friend's middle name was supposed to be Siobhan but they forgot the "H" which pretty much makes the "v" sound. So she's a Sioban.
Anywwwway. I think it's a lovely name.
However I think it clashes with Sophia. I don't like how it sounds. I'd suggest something Gaelic too. Like Alana.

I knew a girl with that name and thought it was really nice. Hard to know how to pronounce it though when you see it spelled out.

I love that name! Sophia is really cute with it too. I even like it Sophia Siobhan. Good choice!

Siobhan Sophia, that's a good combination.

Being Irish myself, I love the name. However... I am a little concerned with the spelling of the name. If you want a unique Irish spelling name, what about something like, Aislynn? It means "Dream/Vision".
It's unique and Irish and is pronounced exactly like it it spelled. We all now know that now-a-days, kids are cruel and if they see the name Siobhan I can just see them calling her See-obb-han.

I love Irish names! It's difficult to pronounce if you've never heard it before.
The two S-names don't sound so good together, in my opinion.

I can never remember how this name is pronounced. I would spell it Shivaun if that is how its pronounced. The other way looks so weird to me and confusing since it looks nothing like its pronounciation.
