I’m seeing this newly released New Zealand film tomorrow: Sione’s Wedding
How is this name (Sione) pronounced? Two syllables? Three? I’ve never heard it before. Is it common among Samoans in NZ?
see - O - nee
…what he said!
And as a half Samoan half Maori living in NZ, the name Sione is fairly common. I haven’t seen the movie, but thats simply because I haven’t had time to see any movie lately… 
but from all accounts its a really good film with a great soundtrack… Go the Naked Samoans!
