Oh, I didn't know that...Even if I did, I must admit, this explanation (to a person who, like me, has no knowledge of the Irish and Welsh languages and cultures) is even more confusing than the original puzzle of the name itself. Was the poster saying that the proper pronunciation of Niamh in English-speaking countries is "NEE-ahv"?
Anyways, thanks for the info!

Niamh is one of the names that BehindTheName provides a pronunciation guide for. Last time I checked, the site claimed that it's pronounced "NEEV". So, it's actually "NEE-ahv"? Cool. Thanks for the info!
