Caoimhe: A Pretentious Name?
 

,

I don't like her but she didn't choose her name and I heard - not sure if true or not - that she wanted them to use 'Keeva'. Ultimately what name is used is up to Endemol.

It's not pretentious at all.

Its the name her parents gave her, why should she feel the need to change it because you think it sounds weird/pretentious etc.

Caoimhe is an Irish name, with an irish spelling. Nothing pretentious about it. Its a very common name here, why should it be change because some people cannot say it. Its not rocket science, listen to it said once and hey presto you've got it!

Pitiful? Get a grip, it's her name.

Not pretentious, Irish. Who knows whats going on with so many Irish names. My daughters name is Sinead. But theres no 'H'. Go figure.

Are you mental? It's Irish? She is from Ierland thats how you spell it!

Jeeeesus

What we can't believe is, you think your inability to cope with a foreign name, leads you to call for a spelling change. :laugh:

This is hilarious

Another one who think English is the only language in the world.....................

So are you saying Siobhan should be spelled 'Shivawn', Mairead should be spelled 'Marayde'? Sad.

Obviously just another troll. Who will more than likely stick around untouched by the mods like all the other trolls.

It's fun driving TiBB into the ground, innit?

I'll stick to Kweervan, it suits her better!

It should be spelt whatever way her parents wanted to spell it fgs.

OH, and BTW I haven't noticed any Scots or Welsh using Celtic spellings.

That's like saying Sree should have had his name changed legally to Shree. :rolleyes:

Well I am Scottish and there are plenty Scottish out there using gaelic spellings!!

I was just about to use Siobhan as an example.

Sean as Shawn?

Niamh as Neeve

Seamus as SHAYMOS

Not in here thy're not!:joker:

COMMON SENSE

you lack none if this is your bloody suggestion on spelling - she is from Ireland - Irish spelling

I hate narrow minded people that only think their own country's spelilng exsits!

What about Aimee, Amy or Amie? lol

Yeah sure they are not.................leave uit with me I will throw a few at you

The only thing that's pretentious is suggesting someone change their name and culture because it looks bizarre and alien to your narrow mind.

How's Penelope pronounced? Or Worcestershire? Or colonel?

I get what you're driving at but don't forget the Cholmondley-Warners!!:elephant:

I'm all for preserving the Celtic language, especially in Cornwall!! But whatever way she pronounces her name, I hope she goes soon. Doubt if she will though, she's one of the 'never nominated' crew who will make it to the last 6 without that much support. Da weles skon!

I'm sorry, you're attacking someone based on the name her -parents- gave her?. Pathetic reason to have a go at a house mate, for all you know the name Caoimhe may have real family significance like being the name of a well loved and respected relative, or maybe she's descended from a very important person like a scientist, or explorer or maybe a human rights campaighner.

As for the tree of temptation-screw it. You're missing the point anyway, the tree is there to make fun of people any way it/they (BB) can and to make them uncomfortable by winding them up. It wasn't picking on Caoimhe because of her name, it was picking on her because it was simply her turn to -get picked on- and the only way they (BB) could think of at the time was by teasing her about her name.

What about Lysester (Leicester)?

I extended the benefit of the doubt, but now I do believe there is an element of Trolling here!
