Names In Your Life

[Maydup]

Its all or nothing it seems.

I have three Wendys in my life but no Fiona.

I have four Davids in my work life, three Peters and several Marks, but not a single Tom.

I know plenty of Michaels and Matthews but not an Oliver or Ollie.

Anyone have more Anns than Lucys?

[Maydup]

I know 2 Ivans!

One's a policeman and the other works in a traditional men's outfitters.

Its interesting how of the 4 Davids I work with, none are Dave. Or the 3 Peters none are Pete.

[Tilly2]

I've got a Caiomhe and she's dyslexic!

[Maydup]

I bet she is Tolly!

[Tilly2]

She can spell her name, though. The trouble is, no one can pronounce it. (I can!)

[Maydup]

I wouldn't know where to start to pronounce it - give us a clue. Rhymes with?

Wikipedia says "Pronunciation of Caoimhe varies depending on the area of Ireland in which it is used"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caoimhe
but this site (where you can play a sound file, if you want) goes with "quee-vah (quee as in QUEEn, vah as in VAn)"

The most important name in my life is 'Dax'.

Why Dax Chris?

[Buenchico]

He's the guy (now 37yo) who I got to know when he was just 6, through my friendship (which was briefly a 'relationship') with his single-parent mum. He was (and remains) the closest thing I've had to my own son.

>>>but changed the spelling of it to suit the English audience

Web references suggest that Keevah is actually the American spelling.
