@MayFayne is Niamh pronounced differently in different regions of Ireland? We are from Mayo/Galway and I have only ever heard Niamh pronounced as Neeve.

Eve

But if I'm honest the fifty billion little Evie's around at the moment have taken the shine off it for me

MayFayner · 22/10/2019 15:42

But @ohhellooo would you say you pronounce it exactly as you would “Steve” for example? Or is there a break in the “ee” sound?

I’m in Dublin and most of the Niamhs I know... thinking about it, it’s not so much Nee Av as “Nee Uv”. Or “Nee Yuv”.

I have posted about this a few times before I think so I won’t derail the thread with any more of my Niamh pedantry 😂

I forgot to answer the OP- I like Eve too.

@MayFyner - I'm going with a syllable and a half then Grin

Agreed with @mayfayner, it’s definitely Nee-av or Nee-yuv. Not neeve at all!!
