Aoife, Siobhán, Saoirse - common names here in Ireland but notoriously difficult for other nationalities to pronounce.

An Irish actress was so fed up of Americans mispronouncing her name that she appeared on US TV to teach them how to say it correctly. And she did it through song!

Saoirse Ronan hosted what she called the "St Patrick's Day episode" of Saturday Night Live last night.

Along with a performance from U2, the 23 year old from Carlow starred in a number of sketches with the SNL regulars.

But we think her song about her name was the best part.

As Saoirse says: "There's too many vowels!"
