Oh-shawna-see - all one word, famous Irish name O'Shaughnessy [Celtic].

Irish names are usually Anglicised in the English speaking world. In Gaelic Irish they look and are often pronounced quite differently.

For example, the famous Irish name of Cadogan is pronounced in Irish as Kay-de-gawn [something like that] but here in UK is simply Cad-ogen.

It is very important to try to get Irish names right.
