Hi, just wondering want your thoughts are. I really like the name Niamh, however I wanted Anne as a middle name after my grandma but I don't think they go, what are your thoughts?

I know a Niamh, it's very pretty. It's not so unusual these days, so I think the pronunciation problem is less of an issue.
And I think it goes well with Anne.

How many syllables does your last name have?

Niamh Anne Smithson works better than Niamh Anne Smith, if you get my drift. If only one syllable I'd go for Niamh Anna.

I love it! I think everyone knows how it's pronounced by now, but suppose its a consideration.

Surely most people know the pronunciation?

Niamh Anne is pretty but maybe a 2 syllable middle name would sound better when you say it? Anna?

If you're not in Ireland I think your DD is going to spend a lot of her life correcting pronunciation and spelling of her name. Is it said "neeve"?

Hi. I have a Niamh Sian. I think Niamh Anne works just fine. To be honest, we never bother with her middle name but it made mil very happy.
