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

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

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?

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)

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.
