What language/region is that bizarre alt. spelling specific to? In English, it cannot phonetically match. --Connel MacKenzie 08:43, 14 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

My understanding is that Síle is the Irish form of Cecilia, and then this got Anglicised to Sheila. But I have never seen Sile. SemperBlotto 09:46, 14 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
