Re: How do you feel about the name Niamh (pronounced Neev)?
in reply to a message by AnonymousNameNerd123
It depends on where you are from. Irish pronunciations are not intuitive for those that don’t speak Irish Gaelic. As someone from the US, I want to say “Nye-am.” I don’t love the Neev sound (for the same reason I don’t like the name Eve). If you are thinking of naming a child this, and you aren’t living in Ireland, you are inflicting your child to a lifetime of having to pronounce, spell, and explain their name.
