Default Strange name spellings
How many previous contestants have spelled their names in weird ways to gain attention from the start? I'm thinking SALLIE - I prefer the way Gracie Fields spelled/sang it!

Well it has the same effect if you are a model or an actor, you stand out from the crowd!

I was going to say "Keeva" was the strange spelling. I've never seen Keeva used before or since her. Caoimhe is certainly the norm over here.

"Keeva" was supposedly the Phonetic spelling.
