The names Keeva and Keavy (pronounced KEE-vee) could be considered feminine forms of Kevin since they are anglicized forms of the Irish feminine name 'Caoimhe' and ultimately derives from the Irish name element 'cóem' which means "dear, beloved, gentle". Kevin also derives from this name element.

For those of you who don’t know Caoimhe and Keeva are not pronounced the same. My name is Keeva and I live in Ireland but people often mispronounce my name as Caoimhe. Keeva is pronounced Key-va and Caoimhe is pronounced more like Kwee-va. I hope that makes sense. I just wanted to let people know if they don’t.

This is actually not true. Caoimhe has two standard pronunciations depending on the regional accent.
One is KWEE-va and the other KEE-va.
Saying KEE-va for Caoimhe is therefore correct and it is correct to anglicize it as Keeva (even though I am not a fan).

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.
