I love it, but wouldn't use it because I'm not Irish and in this country it would be misspelled and mispronounced constantly. However, it is a beautiful name with a beautiful meaning - "bright". I like the 'eve' sound too; it's in Eve and Evie as well as Niamh, and I love all three names. I knew a girl called Neve once, spelled like that instead of the traditional way, so that's an option if you want to avoid the spelling and pronunciation errors that Niamh is so often victim of.

Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me—
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.
