I'm not just saying this because i'm a fan of Eoghan.
Why do people not say his name correctly, a lot of people are calling him eggy or eggnog or crap like that. I think its really disrespectful and as it was pointed out to me earlier possible could even be seen as racism.


Jades mum got Shilpa's name wrong in CBB5 unintentionally but she was called a racist. People are purposly calling Eoghan these names yet nothing is said.

[LemonJam]

I do think that people making fun of his name is offensive and he doesn't really deserve it IMO.

[NettoSuperstar!]

I prefer Egghead

[NettoSuperstar!]

and hes not a race

[supernoodles!]

how is it racism,what just because its an Irish name and some people tack the mick out of the way its spelt that means they are racist.

[Wildcat!]

Not on this forum, compared to others. And no, its not racism, its just a joke, like some people called stu , stupid!

[decdec456]

it's actually ridiculous that people can't remember six letters sometimes and counter their idiocy by calling him egghoan etc. etc.

Sometimes i feel Northern Ireland should just ditch britain, they clearly don't this ****!

[Jack_]

Agreed. I'm actually really fed up with people doing it now, it makes them look like complete idiots because they're not able to say someones name correctly just because it's spelt differently (and yes I know it's just a joke).

But it's not racism, just disrespectful and pathetic.

[KKBL]

im not an Eoghan fan or anything,infact im a huge hater but i realy dont like how the Eggnog thing is still going.fair enough,its a joke but it got old after it was used the millionth time.his name isnt spelt wierd,its spelt in a different language.its not racism,its ignorance.

[pinkmichk]

i find it rude as well, people wouldnt like it if you made a play on their name and called them something different so shouldnt be doing it to someone else

[AngRemembered]

Well I've never disrespected his name (neither have the majority of britain, isnt that why he's in the final), and after hearing him sing I would have thought this was the least of his worries.

His christian name I think is very aptly chosen its 6 letters long of which 2 (a third) are silent, rather like his performances which are often dominated by the backing singers.
I just think its a pity his surname wasnt FACE, then the comedy element alone would have made him at least a little bit more entertaining.

Cause hes crappy, terrible, puglooking and shouldn't be there (I call him Eoghan anyway - but hes crap). How the hell could it be seen as racism :| If you think its racism then you need to actually find out what racism is.

Yeh but that could be used as an adjective to describe him and it was their opinion.

Some people struggle to spell his name and he makes fun of it himself a lot which you would have seen if you've watched Xtra Factor.

I do watch Xtra Factor but it started before he had mentioned it and he doesn't make fun of it to the extent as others do
If people struggle to spell his 6 letter name after it is shown on screen about 5 times every Saturday night and when others are spelling it correctly on the same forum or are saying it correctly in the same conversation then the only conclusion is ignorance.

Its hardly ignorant.

[Glenn.]

I dont think its racist at all. I just think some Brits have a problem with the fact that its spelt the way it is. Racist

[TheMac]

RACIST? Lol, learn the meaning first please. I think Eoghan is disrespected in the way that everyone thinks he is dreadful, but nhe is clearly capable.

Why would people have a problem with the way he spells his name ?

Its just a nickname

Its not as simple as that. There are loads of words that I come across every day and write them, but still can't spell them. That doesn't mean anything.

And if Eoghan doesn't mind it, e.g. on Xtra Factor "is it Eoghan or eggnog?" and having the directors chair with his name crossed out about 5 times, then why should we bother?

I think you will find Eoghan is his name. And the topic is about people taking the michael out of his name.
