I love it! I think it's gorgeous and not too used!
Love it - it's my SIL's name though so I wouldn't use it. it's getting quite popular here.
I love it, but only this spelling. It is a beautiful name and it is the name of my deceased half-sister.
I really like it, but it would be butchered hideously in the US. I'd keep it in the middle unless you're in Ireland.
I like it, but I think it's getting to the stage of being too popular now, so it's becoming a little bit 'blah.' I'm starting to prefer Eve, because it has a similar sound, but seems fresher to me.
I adore it. If I had a little girl tomorrow she'd be Niamh. It's so utterly elegant and beautiful, simple but strong.
Dislike it...
If I hadn't looked it up, I would have no idea how to pronounce it.

I like it, and spelled this way rather than Neve / Neev. It would probably get mispronounced a lot though.
I agree with everything you just said! There would be pronunciation problems, but don't you think eventually as it becomes more popular, people would just learn the pronunciation? Like the name "Sean", it's very rare for this name to be mispronounced, and eventually the pronunciation would just be known. I'm not sure this makes sense but hopefully you understand what I mean!!!

Er...that's NIMH
Well indeed. That's what it reminds me of, though.
Fair enough!
I love the spelling. I'm not to sure whether I like the way it is said.
