I love it. I do understand why they anglicized it.

Were I a celebrity I wouldn't even give a thought to Anglicizing, I would use it to help normalize cultural names and give a reference point.

That said, the sound/meaning of it are quite pretty.

going agaisnt the grain here - I way prefer it as Keeva.



Also they have to do what they think is best for their child, not use her to make a political statement about 'normalising culture'.

If they prefer Keeva, thats what they should use - or vice versa - but whatever is their preference, not what makes the best statement or reference point.

It reminds me of an episode of Flight of the Concords where (shock, horror) one of the guys was going out with an aussie chick....called Keitha! Thats Keith with an A on the end, in case you 're wondering.
