Child Item

The worst kid's name you've ever heard?

cantdecide

...because I think I can beat them all. I swear I considered strangling the poor little bugger to death for his own good. Sit down. Calmly take a deep breath and prepare yourself...

Caoimhe doesn't rhyme with Aoife, it's pronounced with a "v" sound (Kweeva)

Doesn't matter, either way it's still not a nice name!

If plaza del concepcion is a thing, my two would be called Clondalkin and Puerto del Carmen.

Nightmare for the child as she grows up and lives anywhere outside Ireland. Actually, even inside Ireland it can spark debate as to the correct pronunciation.

Irish names like that one^ cause chaos in peoples linguistic heads )

Maybe, but it's a fairly common name. Any Irish person that makes it to 18 not being able to say it needs a wider social circle.

Yeah, I hate that "Kwe" sound. Keeva is much nicer.

So can we agree that Caoimbhe is actually pronounced Keeva.

Sorted.

General rule of thumb.

If it's in the northern half of the country, it's probably Pronounced "Keeva"
If it's in the southern half of the country, it's probably "Kweeva"

Stroke Politics

Reading an interview in the Irish Times sports section, fella named his daughter Oa. Is that O -a like Tia, or is it oa like in "goat"? Or is it just a typo? Might have something against consonants....

There seems to be a new trend now to take a name and try to posh it up by spelling and pronouncing it different for example
At the moment I know a few of these
Maya Mia myia girl
Ki Kyi kye boy
They are all the bloody same so if it takes ten minutesto spell it and pronounce it ur an ass. Also ur kid now has to explain it's name all the time stellar idea

That name is the opposite of posh. I can hear his parents drawing the dole from here.

I'm in the USA at the moment. Read an article in the local paper, a woman with two daughters named Reileigh and Sydnee. Never mind the silly names, those spellings make me eyes hurt.

To combine both yours and mayobumblebee's posts, I saw a girl named Michaelagh lately.

Michaelagh. Aaaghhh.

Saw an Abbeygail mentioned on a UK based parenting group the other day.

Suspect it is spelt 'Aeneas'.
