How do you pronounce Caoimhes name?

I always say it as Kay-oh-me lol why does it have to be so complicated :shocked:

key-fur

weird name ;s

Keeva.

Same here :)

Kweervan.

Do we really need another thread on this :bored:

Kwee-va or Kee-va simple not in anyway complicated.

Kee-vah

It's like a bit of stale chewing gum at this stage.

Keeva now... but used to say Ki-oma.

its cameltoe...

I quite agree!! :devil: :joker:

Who the **** would even notice her far less talk about her if it wasn't for her stupid name, It's kinda like that other one, Burlap or was it Orlathe? :dance::elephant:

Keeva. Simples.

Why another thread?? I would'a thought, two weeks in, you guys would at least remember to say her name.

I wasnt asking how is it pronounced i was asking how you prounounce it personaly.

Yeah, I pronounce it Keeva lol! :hugesmile:

Keeva. :)

lol okay :hugesmile:

I posted this before, but…

Irish was not originally written with the Roman alphabet; it has been approximately transliterated. It has broad and slender consonants, depending on the vowels around it. Let's take the letters apart:

c - pronounced as /k/ due to following "a"
aoi - pronounced as a long /i/ or "ee" in English due to the following "mh" forcing the triphthong sequence into a diphthong
mh - pronounced as /v/ as it's slender (the broad equivalent is /w/)
e - unstressed /ə/ due to placement at the end of the word

Thus, we get the approximation of "Keeva."

keeva

Used to be kay oh me

Lol! :thumbs:

In Ireland her name is pronounced Kwee Va, which is the correct pronunciation!!

Why the hell is this such a weird name to you lot?
I know so many girls called this, I just say 'Keeva'

Never heard anyone say the W in it though LOL

I pronounce it B itch

I prounounce it Kwee-va, the right way

Reading it for the first time I thought it said Kayholme :|

But now Keeva

I don't have a problem pronouncing it. Just spelling it.

Caoimhín is Kevin in Irish. Pronounced Kweeveen.

In Eire its pronounced Qu-ee-Va.

It's only Eire on the stamps. You'll never hear us say we're from Eire.

Im from Eire so ummm..............yes we do use it! Go Brath!

We'll make a poll, shall we?

Qwee-va,like I say every other Caoimhe I know. I find it amusing how people can find an Irish name so difficult.

No Irish person really says Eire unless you were speaking in complete Irish.

Also Spitfire is a ****

kay-ome-ee

I don't care if its not pronounced like that officially, I still say it like that.

Just like I still call Niamh, Knee-am

Hee hee.:dance:

Spitfire's from the United Kingdom doncha know. The only part of the UK where you'll find pictures of the queen hanging on the wall.

It's a shame people don't use their native tongue more. This makes me sad. :)
