People will learn how to spell Caoimhe, no need to butcher this beautiful name.
It's a beautiful name. The original spelling looks more attractive, but it would be constantly mispronounced, here in England. On balance, I feel that the phonetic spelling is more usable.
I like the spelling Kieva a little more than Kiva and Keeva. Keeva just sounds like a pet name and Caoimhe would be mispronouced in other countries. It is good for Ireland though :)
I prefer the spelling Kiva and I think it's quite obvious that it rhymes with diva!
I know a girl named Keeva but she spells it Kiva. For some reason everyone tries to pronounce it Kyva and she has to say "No. It rhymes with Diva!"
I love both Caoimhe and Keeva. I'd use the Irish spelling in Ireland only, the other one in every other English part of the world.
I like the original spelling of Caoimhe much better, but I think that it would be mispronounced often in the United States.
