I don't think it matters what ethnicity you are. I love
Niamh (and its spelling) and I'm not Irish either. I plan on using
Saoirse Niamh for a future daughter. =) If you're worried about people mispronouncing it, just correct them. I've had people even mispronounce my name (
Laura). It's a pretty name, and I'm not a very big fan of the spelling
Neve.
