Re: Dervla Kerwin

Well, I hate their smug ads, but I do like Dervla Kirwan. Nice to see a fellow countrywoman doing well for herself. Can't understand why she spells Dervla that way, though, everyone knows you are supposed to spell it Dearbhla.

Re: Dervla Kerwin

1) Didn't know that was her voice, but doesn't make me hate it any more or any less cos it's her... I do hate it incredibly much tho!!!!

2) Probably spelt it like that so the rest of the properly-speaking-world can understand it LOL

Re: Dervla Kerwin

I don't know why everyone's saying that's not the way you spell Dervla.
I know rightly there are at least 3 different ways to spell that name - Dearbhla, Dearbhail and Dervla.
I spell my name the exact same way as Dervla Kirwan, apart from the second name (which has an A) and I think the people on these forums should expand their minds a bit and accept that there are different ways of spelling names.
And besides, annathedub, not everyone knows that's the way to spell Dearbhla/Dervla/Dearbhail - I think it's unfair that you're generalising.
Rant over. =D

Re: Dervla Kerwin

Wow, this thread is 3rd hit on google when you search for her name!

EDIT: Probably because of the misspelling of her surname. Thought something didn't seem quite right there.

or because she is not very famous and there are few links to her...

Never heard of her myself. But I doubt she has heard of me either....
