to ask how would you pronounce these names?

[BumWiper]

Caoimhe and Naoise

[hobbgoblin]

think first one is kee-vah

[PamBeesly]

Kweeva and Nee-sha

[TomskiGirl]

I have a daughter called Niamh (pronounced Neeve), didn't think about the spelling or pronunciation when we named her, but she's not bothered at the moment... Quite a few people get confused though, so I don't think it's unreasonable to ask

[WriterofDreams]

Kweeva and Neesha, same as what Pam said.

[monkeybumsmum]

Yes, Quee-ver, and Nee-sha

[ashamedandconfused]

kee-vah

[WriterofDreams]

In Ireland Niamh is pronounced Nee-uv.

[HidinginaHardHat]

Keef-ah and Neesha

[GwendolineMaryLacey]

Kweeva and Neesha

[WriterofDreams]

Caoimhe can be Kee-va too, it varies from place to place in Ireland.

[eurochick]

No idea on the first. The second is definitely Neesha. Apparently it's usually a girl's name. I only no one and it's a bloke!

[BumWiper]

Thanks cause they are my DD and my name and no one seems able to pronounce either properly.
PB spot on,hobb quite close

[ashamedandconfused]

its kee not quee, unless there are regional variations within ireland

[chicletteeth]

Nee-sha is the second.

Not sure about the first

[ashamedandconfused]

ah, x-posts with writer

[WriterofDreams]

Naoise is a unisex name. I know people of both genders who have that name.

[izzywhizzyletsgetbusy]

Key-va or Kwee-va, and Knee-sha.

[BumWiper]

Thanks everyone.
And I live in Ireland!

My DD's specialist is from London and keeps calling her Kay-o-me.

[HidinginaHardHat]

I love the name Caoimhe, it's so pretty.

[WriterofDreams]

Have you corrected the specialist? Cos if you have then he/she is just being rude.

[hobbgoblin]

Ha BW, you can try out my DD's now:

Oenone

and DS's middle name : Mjolnir

[BumWiper]

Its Kweeva using Connaught pronounciation,Keeva using Munster Irish.

[belgo]

How is Fionn pronounced?

[WriterofDreams]

Eeenan?

Me-ol-nur?

[Jaspants]

Wow I could understand a little bit of confusion in England,but not in Ireland
