What would be appropriate for a girl named after a Kevin? As in Carla, Henrietta, Michaela, Stephanie etc.
I can only think of just Kay.

Does Kevin have a middle name?

Caoimhe (Kee-va) is the Irish feminine of Caoimhin (Kee-veen) which is anglicised to 'Kevin'

Caoimhe is lovely. Is there an anglicized spelling of it? Speaking as someone who has to spell her name every time, it can be a pain

I was nearly called Philippa, after my dad

And look at poor old Nigella Lawson

Everyone will think you're a Big Brother fan if you use Caoimhe and you're not Irish!

Kevia?

Does the Kevin you would be naming her after have a middle name?
