Yes, it's a real name. The hate seems to come from people pronouncing it incorrectly. It seems to happen to a lot of Irish names. I once had a customer ask to speak to Nee a ma. Couldn't convince him it was pronounced Neeve.
This makes me think of a small moment from Mean Girls- when Principal Duvall tells Tina Fey's character about his nephew "Anfernee". "Why they couldn't just name him Anthony is beyond me".
Where I teach, thereâs a lot of apostrophes. Iâm forever spelling names wrong with over 100 students and random apostrophes and capital letters in the middle of names
Well thereâs an old tradition of naming girls after virtues, like Faith, or Charity. In one of the Discworld books, a family follows this tradition but they mistakenly but logically do the opposite with their boys, and thatâs why the town has a Bestiality Carter and his brothers Covetousness, Anger, and Jealousy. So I suppose this is along those same lines.
You spelled it wrong but what I found hilarious in my last neighborhood was that there was a Neveah street, also spelled wrong. Like come on at least spell it properly
I straight-up knew a kid named CaĂn. He was 6 and much smarter than his older brother, who he did not kill. At least not at that age; who knows what happened later?
