So, I've never heard of her, but why do the BBC and other media keep pronouncing her name "Cyan" rather than the Welsh way ("Sharrn")?
It's just a hill. Get over it.

Was the OP meant to be serious?This is the poor woman who had MND, is murdered along with her 2 young children and there are people on here that think its some sort of laughing matter? jesus wept.

It was a simple question - I'd never heard of the woman, and couldn't understand why they pronounced her name like that.
I'm truly sorry for what happened to her, no-one deserves that. But I posted as the story was breaking that she was missing, and simply was curious about the pronunciation.

I think it may be a cultural thing. Perhaps where her family descend from that may be the way it was pronounced. Obviously in Welsh it it pronounced different because in the correct spelling there is a "to bach" (circumflex on the
â) which makes the different sound.
Sian has become the accepted spelling but still retains the Welsh pronounciation but for Welsh speakers they will still spell it Siân.
Hope this helps.0
