Neve

[Choccyhobnob]

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

Neve just looks like you cannot spell. Don't do it!

Thanks everyone, you have been no help whatsoever with your 50/50 answers . The fact my Nana is Irish is maybe a tenuous enough link to use Niamh but if a child can be called Summer or Autumn or Soleil I suppose Neve can be used as a totally different name meaning Snow.

I shall revisit this argument if and when I actually have a DD to name....!

I think either spelling is generally accepted nowadays. I prefer Niamh but that's just personal opinion. It's a beautiful name.
