Help[Opinions] Re: How would you pronounce this?
in reply to a message by little_kit
If I've never seen it before I would probably pronounce it as "NEE-am" (sort of rhyming with Liam). But being a name nerd, I know it is pronounced as Neev.
But I would probably ask how it is pronounced, b/c English pronounciations (and even more Irish ones) are often tricky for us foreigners.
But I thought people in USA would know by now, since Irish names are so popular. Or maybe you live in a small town with few Irish immigrants?
I like the name itself and I like the authentic Irish spelling Niamh too.
