please help. Opinions on spelling of girls name

[feather2e]

So we found out we are going to have a girl and we have picked a traditional Irish name as we did with our son Fionn. It is Caoimhe (pronounced Kee-vah).meaning beautiful, gentle , kind, precious. I really want to keep the traditional spelling but think that people are going to have a really hard time with it. I would appreciate some advice .Please bear in mind that there are many little girls called Siobhan pronounced shuh-vaun and people got used to that.

I agree with the other ladies, I like how it was spelled with the pronunciation, Keevah. But when she starts school I know most teachers will make notes when saying names for the first time or ask what they are normally called so they can do that so they won't mispronounce her name. I have a friend whose name is spelled Yury, but pronounced Yudy. I don't think it matters how you spell it if you say it to someone they'll know. I like the other name too!

We have another name we are considering Saiorse pronounced Seer-sha.The second name is probably going to be Maeve(DH really wanted this to be her first name so I compromised)

I agree I like how you did the pronunciation "Keevah"

To be honest I really like the way you spelled the pronunciation of the name. I think Keevah is really nice. Also, I like that you're going with traditional Irish names. For our boy we chose Finnigan!
