No! His mother saw the name, "Sean." She named him "Sean." But she'd never heard it pronounced, so, it's pronounced "Seen."
But wait, there's more!
His brother? Is named Shawn. Prounced, of course, Shawn.

There was a guy playing baseball, catcher, for a local college. His first name is Ian. I would would have thought it'd be pronounced the usual way, EE-an. Nope, apparently his parents pronounce it EYE-an because that's how he was always announced when he came up to bat.
