Neve, just because it’s a bit more unusual. But I like them both.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 06/04/2023 17:01

Emilia

DigbyTheDigger · 06/04/2023 17:01

If it has to be these spellings, then Emilia.

FirstFallopians · 06/04/2023 17:04

Is Neve supposed to be pronounced the same as Niamh, or like the Spanish for snow?

drpet49 · 06/04/2023 17:06

Neve

Neve

PinkFluffyUnicornsDancingOnRainbows · 06/04/2023 17:16

Emilia

Sadiegirl87 · 06/04/2023 17:31

Neve, only because I know so many Amelia,/Emilia's where Neve is more classic, I'm Irish so would normally see it as Niamh, just think she might have some issues correcting the spelling of her name is you spell it Neve

HawkeyePierce · 06/04/2023 17:42

If that's the spellings then Emilia. Personally, not keen on that version of Neve/Niamh

SkyeBlue28 · 06/04/2023 17:44

Emilia

Jemimapuddleduk · 06/04/2023 17:58

Neve, it’s gorgeous.

palsprosecco · 06/04/2023 18:04

Neve

Viviennemary · 06/04/2023 18:06

Don't much like either. But prefer Emilia.

PrincessofWellies · 06/04/2023 18:07

Misspelling names just looks ignorant.

IsadoraQuagmire · 06/04/2023 18:10

Emilia. Neve is confusing (I'd instinctively pronounce it Nev like Neve Campbell)

bellalou1234 · 06/04/2023 18:14

Neve but I love Emilia too so no help.. neve mn Emilia is lovely or other way round..I think if I had to choose it would be neve

SquigglePigs · 06/04/2023 18:16

Definitely Emilia

whodafucisalice · 06/04/2023 18:16

Whichever name she will have to spell it out all her life and dislike you for it!

halfsiesonapotnoodle · 06/04/2023 18:24

'Mealy' sounding names are terrible. So Neve.

sevenbyseven · 06/04/2023 18:27

I like Niamh but not Neve, so Emilia.

Do you mean the name Niamh but spelled Neve?

CastleTower · 06/04/2023 19:02

Niamh over Emilia, but Emilia over Neve.

ElizaSkye · 06/04/2023 19:03

I love Neve spelt that way

Also really like Emilia but I think Neve is less heard

SalviaDivinorum · 06/04/2023 19:04

Neither of those spellings I'm afraid.

Niamh is lovely
