Also Ua(e) Seaghdha.

"Ua" older spelling, and "Uae" old Irish spelling of the word meaning grandson.

Thanks, have you other alternatives. I have Ó Séaghdha, Ó Séadha and the standard version Ó Sé.

The only correct version to my knowledge is Ó Séaghdha. (Séaghdha = séagh "hawk" + the adjectival suffix -dha.)

I think the problem lies in lazy speech.
Obviously the name should be pronounced:
uwa Séyáh. (póg)
If you say Ó Sé, sooner or later, someone will write Ó Sé.

Ó Sé is the most often used form in Munster, yes.
Dave, have you ever spoken Irish?
