'Sean Bean dies in everything because it’s the universe trying to correct the hole ripped in it due to the fact that his name doesn’t rhyme when it should'


Seen Bean or Shawn Bawn?!!? For all I know where he's from in the north of England, his name does rhyme at least to some greater extent than the way most of us say it :) This little post has been reblogged over 65,000 times. Very good.

Hm, I've never heard Sean being pronounced as "seen". It's a Celtic name, and they pronounce things differently. An "S" together with a vowel is pronounced "sh" (Siobhan is pronounced Shavon, for example).

My examples only if his name did rhyme, which it doesn't although I didn't know the name was Celtic even if I should have guessed it was.
