As others have pointed out, Saoirse is a girl name. However, the Irish Seoirse, pronounced 'Shore-shuh' is masculine. It's actually the Irish form of George so if you want a similar alternative to Saoirse, Seoirse would be a good choice.
It IS a lovely name but as you now know, it's for a girl.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
