Any guides to pronouncing Sean?

Are there any guidelines or rules on when to pronounce the name Sean? I've heard it several ways, 'sheen' and 'shawn'.

The standard pronunciation is Shawn , but there's nothing to stop anybody with that name pronouncing it any way they like.

I'm reading a book now where Sean is one of the characters. I'm trying hard to teach myself to read it "Shawn" and not having the best luck.


However, I correctly read night, thought, through, although, etc.
