How is it pronounced? ‘Mave’? Sorry if I’m being thick

Don’t like

I have a Maebh with an Irish dad (from what I could see ae and ea are both used but ae is more Anglicised)

I loved the name - still do but dd(10) calls herself May and her class mates constantly call her Mab which drives her crazy :(

Or Maedhbh Grin

I love the name. I'd stick to Maeve outside Ireland.

I live outside of Ireland- do you think this spelling would be a problem or nice to keep it traditionally Irish?

It’s lovely. I’d go with Méabh, though.
