Don't like it at all. I prefer Genevieve or Guinevere. The spelling looks silly.

It still looks silly, sorry, just like Niamh and Caoimhe look silly.

They only look silly because you don't speak Welsh and Irish. Niamh makes perfect sense in Irish. I personally think Niamh looks much better than Neve.

Maybe they are fine in Ireland or whatever but I just don't like them. Its my opinion. Some people don't like my kids names (or their spellings) but I really couldn't care less.

Excuse for saying so, but I think that's a very ethnocentric statement to make.

But that's how the names are spelled in their native languages. Why is it weird?

I know they are legit spellings, I just don't like them. I prefer Neve and Keeva (or somthing like that, easier to read I guess) I don't have to like them. Its just my opinion.

It's perfectly fine not to like the names. I just didn't think you should say the spellings were silly when they were the original spellings.If you would have simply said "I prefer Neve and Keeva," I would have been perfectly fine with that.
