Do you think this now a name in its own right? Or would you just think Neve's parentscouldn't spell Niamh? DH says he wouldn't use Niamh as we're not Irish but I'm a stickler for spelling and grammar and don't know if I could use the name Neve if people were inwardly rolling their eyes... like I do when I see the name Khloe

Also Niamh I would pronounce Nee-uhv and Neve just Neeve.

Thoughts? Entirely hypothetical btw, i'm not pg, just love baby names and thinking of them for possible future DC's Smile

I think neve is an accepted spelling - think neve Campbell. Plus people know how to pronounce it which isn't always the case with Niamh.

i have 2 friends using the name.

One uses Niamh and the other uses Neeve as a middle name.

And being such a stickler for grammar I hate that I made a few errors in that! Grin
