Re: How do you feel about the name Niamh (pronounced Neev)?
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.
