I agree totally.

How would they feel if people kept saying their name wrongly? Over and over again. It would get very annoying! My friend is called Keziah (Kez-ee-ah) and people say Kez-eye-ah and stuff, it annoys her alot.. x

[TheMac]

Annoying isn't the same as racism, plus everyone knows how to pronounce his name

[supernoodles!]

Its not ignorance its just lack of knowledge,not everyone sees Eoghan`s name appear on the screen every saturday and don`t read about the xfactor,so unless their Irish themselves then I think they have an excuse.My sister is called Niamh,again an Irish name and people spell and pronounce it incorrectly all the time,I don`t see it as ignorance its just lack of knowledge.
Then of course there are some members on tibb who do use the nickname just for a joke,because they don`t particularly like him.I don`t think its that big a deal,as its been said its just like calling Dale ,dule,Stuart,Stupid etc and it is certainly not racism.

Well I don't think his utter rubbish but he shouldn't be in the final, since far better singers have been knocked out the show who deserved his place in the final.

As for the name thing I have always made up names for the people on Big Brother and other shows I'm not keen on, or don't respect, like:

• Jade Gooby (Jade Goody)
• Imobore (Imogen - BB7)
• Simple Simion (Simon Cowell)
• The little bitch dogs (Danielle, Jack, Jackiey and Jo - CBB5)

and so forth. It's just away of expressing an opinion. And not to be unfair to those I have given names to in the past, Eoghan is "Egg Head"

I didn't say I wanted to at all, so check what I said before you post crap again.
I said if someone offered me a billion pounds to then I would depending on the person.
The 2 topics aren't related so I don't know why you are bringing it up, you must just like causing trouble.

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

Be careful you might get a bashing from some of these losers for being 'racist' to all the Michael's of the world

He was called 'Eggnog' on 5 News last night lol, and 'Ego' or something on Radio 1 on sunday.

I think most do it as a joke, it just isn't funny anymore.

[Wildcat!]

Its true, I dont think its funny anymore. But there is nothing racist or xenophobic about it.
But Dull and Stupid never got old though

[Tom8592]

I prefer to call him the **** one

[Z]

I think you'll find the majority of people who spell his name as Eggnog/Egghead etc are doing it as a joke, because it's an unusual spelling. It's not racist and it's not a reflection on how bad/good he is, it's just making fun of his name. He himself does it on the Xtra Factor, so I doubt he gets upset over it.

[30stone]

People are just a bit thick and dont remmeber how to spell it.

people who cant spell his name just refuse to spell it right they do it on purpose and people calling him eggyon or whattever blatenly know how to say it and its hardly hilarious saying it is it

[robb]

I never liked the phrase eggnog.........in my 2 weeks of support I gave him on here ater ruth went (nobody else liked him), I prefered to call the great song and dance man egghead....

Nope he deems himself Irish actually

Note: St Patricks College is his school so you can tell what community he is apart of in Derry
