In Celtic polytheism, Sirona was a goddess worshipped predominantly in East Central Gaul and along the Danubian limes. A healing deity, she was associated with healing springs; her attributes were snakes and eggs.
but ryan is also a first name, and when used as one is a fairly common male name. it could be a coincidence, but i have no reason to give them the benefit of the doubt
It's a common Irish surname. Fuck 'em, but saying it's a deliberate insult is a big stretch and people who aren't already on board are going to think you're being silly or acting in bad faith. This is really a nothingburger. SIrona is the name of a pagan celtic woman diety and Ryan is a common Irish surname.
i get that there's plausible deniability, but given everything surrounding the game i just don't believe it's a coincidence
when the franchise has a history of names like cho chang and kingsley shacklebolt? i'm not saying it was an intentional insult, but i don't think those names were intentionally offensive either
HER NAME IS SIRONA RYAN!!!! SIR RYAN!!!!!
:british-maw: they simply cannot stop naming kids Jameson O'Carbomb and Ni Hao Ma and Ivan Kalashnikov and Blacko Spearman :agony-minion:
asian wizard cho chang. black wizard kingsley shacklebolt
I knew about the Asian wizard but :bruh-moment:
Is there at least an American named Fatts McBurger?
I get the 'sir' thing but does the name Ryan have any meaning that might be going over my head here?
Or is it just "le man name for le female lol lol lol bazinga?"
I feel like this is a really dumb question but just making sure im not missing something shitty.
Sirona is a Celtic / old Irish name, as is Ryan. Like, i'm not defending their hamfisted fuckery but a little reading goes a long way.
Yeah it's almost certainly not an intentional sligght, but i'm going along with it because fuck'em.

:warren-snake-green: :trans-egg:
yeah, it's a generally male name, and especially combined with the first name is pretty shitty
That's what i thought, but then my brain pivoted to "wait maybe something I'm missing here."
Thanks for clearing up!
