  look up spelling systems of Gaelic languages (e.g. Irish, Scottish Gaelic), that is not too far off

    For example Caoimhe, pronounced Keeva.

      Despite having heard the name Siobhan (pronounced Sheh-vaugn), I never saw it written until many years later and in an unrelated circumstance so I assumed it was pronounced “Sigh-Oh-Ban”. Irish names are insanely confusing for anyone who isn’t Irish and I’ll eternally argue there’s no shame in getting one wrong.
