Proununciation of her name
 

It sounds like her name is pronounced as KEEVA: am I missing something?

:conf:

no, you're correct.

Lol, nearly 2 weeks later?

I'm still having difficulty spelling it tbh

Caoimhe :thumbs:

Cheers but it's still not sinking in. This is why I avoid most of her threads lol :P

she's irish dont forget and they do have weird spellings of names ie oraith from bb6 her name was pronounced orlah :joker:

Plenty of words/names are not pronounced as they are spelt though it depends on your language really. She's Irish and thats how it's spelt and sounds there, just like my name (Kerry) in Irish is quite different to how it is spelt in English :)

Usually it's pronounced Qwee-va,don't why she pronounces it Kee-va.

Its her name let it be pronounced as she wishes, dont see too many people making comments on Joevans name. Nearly two weeks in and the biggest impact she has had on the show is about the pronunciation of her name?

Cos theres nothing else to talk about with her

My point entirely, get rid of the waste of rations.

I've always said it like Qweeva and not going to change that for a waste of space like yer one in there.

I could spell Caoimhe if I really wanted to, but the fact that those letters correlate to the sound "KEE-VUH" makes me so angry I prefer Caoifheme or Caohefhioaweih. Or Kiva.

I prefer the Irish spelling of my name. Forgotten it exactly but it's similar to Ciar(summat)

Siobhan - Sh-iv-awn.
Niamh - Neeve.
Ciere - Keira.

loads of them.

I don't see what's wrong anglicizing a name on BB really, I'm sure they must have done that before with contestants. That's why you see quite alot of people calling her Keeva, it just makes more sense with our pronunciation.
