Yea Caoimhe is a bit headwrecking. Depending on where people are from it's pronounced differently.

I was in school with a girl and it was Qwee va but a girl in college would correct anyone who called her this and said it was kee va. Head wrecking.

That version always makes me think people are trying to say "kee-va" but get phlegm stuck in their throat beforehand.

They're wrong but then again they can pronounce their own name their own way.

Hard to picture a baby Finbarr alright. When I hear that name I always think of an auld lad in a country pub drinking Guinness.

Naw. There are plenty of young Finbars in Cork. It’s a popular name there throughout the ages.

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.

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

It's like people pronouncing Ciarán as Kieran.

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.

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.

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.

Why is the name Norma so popular in Cork? It's such an aul one Protestant name but it's quite common down there even among women in their 20's/ 30's.
