    Not wrong, just from a different area. In much the same way as Roisin and Caolan are pronounced different, depending on what area people grew up.


    Curious but what area(s) is it pronounced Ki Va?

    Mostly Ulster, but bleeding into Leitrim, Sligo, etc. And more kee/key, than ki. Similarly, Caolan is Kee-lan, a Roisin is Raw-sheen.

    Yea I'd pronounce it that way but others insist is keeeeee va with a big emphasis on the K.

    They're wrong. Even if it's their own name, they're still wrong.

    It's like people pronouncing Ciarán as Kieran.

    they/them/theirs

    Dympna. It's horrendous, and it seems to be very popular in the North.

    I've heard it pronounced as ab-sid-ee before.

    The worst are those trashy English names, usually seen in the court reports of the local papers: Darren, Dean, Wayne, Keith, Ashley, Ryker, Skylar, etc. Easy to spot that mammy and daddy are influenced by the back pages of their tabloid of choice.

    Gobnait is popular in Mid Cork. A local saint apparently and also mentioned in the late Frank Kelly's 12 days of Christmas skit. Gobnait O Lunacy

    Eamon is another awful name. And I can't imagine why you would call your son Paul or Roger in this day and age. Dreadful names the lot of them. Also "Mike" or "Mick". And Mark always turned my stomach a bit, like a mark or a stain on a toilet seat. "Tom" also.

    You just don’t like names do you?

    All three are not contrived names , Jospeha is Hebrew and the other two are old English names.

    I know a halfwit who changed her surmane to an "Irish" version giving herself a male version of the name.
