The Irish are stupid when it comes to spelling names. Eoghan is Owen.

Why is Slough not pronounced sluff as in rough or sloo as in through? No, it's pronounced Slow as in plough.

I don't see why some people on here find it oh so confusing tbh, the mh is pronounced like a V same as my name Niamh (Nee-av) It's not that hard to grasp!

I don't understand the big ****ing deal over her name. Her name is Caoimhe - not Keeva. it's an Irish name and comes from the Irish language, get over it. Ife's name isn;t pronounced like 'knife'. Have a bit of respect.

Don't be so precious. I'll still call her Quaver if it's all the same to you. Besides, she'll be out on friday.

Must be really annoying for them to be constantly explaining how to spell and pronounce their names. Especially when they venture out of Ireland.

Its almost cruel to put that lifelong burden on a child. What's wrong with Jane or Emily ffs?

Are you actually aware there are other languages other than English..

(or is this place just full of trolls..)

She doesn't pronounce her name properly though. In Ireland everyone who spells there name "Caoimhe" pronounces it as Queeva. She should change her name to "Keevah" because even though her name is spelt in Irish, it's pronounced in English so it's just bloody confusing.

Er, Ive been here a damn sight longer than you so less of the troll crap. Do you even know what a troll is?

Clearly not.

And chill the **** out. BB is a UK show not an Irish show so her name is unusual to its main audience.
