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 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.

This. It is really starting to pee me off how many threads are about Caoimhe's name. If you don't like the freaking spelling of it, spell it Keeva, end of. Now can we discuss something that happened in the show please??

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..
