spelling of Neve - opinions please.

We have decided we love the name Neve but can't agree on how too spell it. I like the traditional irish way niamh but the OH thinks its too confusing and she'll have to spell her name out all the time. what do you think?

i will point out that i am irish so to me only the spelling niamh makes sense to me. i would pronounce neve as nev and i haven't seen the other spelling of it used before.

personally if i were using a name from another culture or language then i would stick with the appropriate spelling.

I like the traditionak way tbh. However I also know someone who spells it Nieve, just to confuse things for you further!! (I also know a Neve)

Which Spelling Of Rebecca

Nieve, Neve or Niamh?!

my middle daughter is called Neve and we deliberated for aaaages over the exact same thing as you. In the end i am glad we went with 'Neve'. although some people have mispronounced it ('neve-y' and 'nev') most people get it right. i think its a beautiful name- good luck. )

I prefer Neve as in Neve Campbell (actress).

Taught a girl called Niamph and when i saw it written i had no clue as how to pronounce it!!

and. having a funny spelling in my name and ALWAYS having to tell people how to spell it is really annoying! Even the dr surgery can never find me on the books and i have to supply my date of birth in order for them to locate my forms.

Neve, Nieve or Niamh?

Niamh in not really a fan spelling names untraditionally.

Neve and Niamh aren't really the same, Neve is pronounced Neev but Niamh is more like a soft Nee-uv, if that makes sense. Have never seen Nieve, so it just looks like sieve with an N to me

Niamh Is the nicest and ‘looks’ more interesting when written down, iykwim

It’s become such a popular name in the UK there’s no need to bastardise the spelling.

Foggy I believe they are the same, like Sean is not like pronounced Seen, Shawn is for people who aren't interested in the Irish Gaelic spelling. I have came across a shovonne instead of a siobhan. Personally if your going to go the Irish thing embracing the spelling is classier. But your child your decision!

I know both the Nia uvs down south (Ireland- Cork/Kerry) and the Neevs future North of Munster both spelt Niamh.

Niamh is my favourite spelling too, but DH says if we were to spell it this way we would be setting her up for a life time of constantly correcting and telling people how to pronounce it he likes the 'Neve' spelling.

I didn't know they were pronounced differently pp!

Sean is not pronounced Seen because in Irish there's a fada on the a, Seán, making it an Aw sound.

What Foggymist said ^^

Niamh & Neve are different names, pronounced differently.

Nieve is Spanish & means 'snow'.

I thought it would be popular enough for people to just know how to pronounce it. DH doesn't think so!

Honestly didn't know they were different names! Learn something new everyday

Spell it correctly - other than as pp have pointed out - if you want it to be pronounced Neve (in England) then the correct spelling is Niamh.

Are you pronouncing Neve as per Neve Campbell or N ‘eve’?

Otherwise to me Niamh and N’eve’ are pronounced the exact same where I live in midlands Ireland, not so for my friend Niamh from Cork who is Nia uv (or úbh as in egg if I was to give it her full title)

Oh yes actually Neve Campbell is pronounced Nev, not Neev (and Nev from Catfish is Neev just to complicate things!).

I'm also in Midlands Ireland but am from Cork/Kerry so I guess I hear Nee-uv up here even if they say Neev!

I'd pronounce them all 'N ee V ", I'm from Leeds and I think that is how we would all pronounce them here. That's what my I thought they were the same name

I have a friend with a preteen called Neve. She, and everyone else, pronounce it the same as Niamh.

Anyway, preferred spelling:
Niamh
Neve

Don’t like Nieve.

Niamh. It has two syllables as PPs have said.

Yeah I'm from Cork and we pronounce Niamh, Nia úibh (knee-iv)

I'd go with the original Irish spelling. But that's because I'm Irish and love Irish names. My three kids all have Irish names and we don't live in Ireland but it always leads to lovely conversations about the spelling, meaning and origin of the name.

I know 5 little ones called Nieve round my way and one spelt Niamh.

Just spell it Niamh if you want people to “ just know how to pronounce it”

Neve and Niamh aren't really the same, Neve is pronounced Neev but Niamh is more like a soft Nee-uv, if that makes sense.

Definitely not so in my part of Ireland. Niamh is Neev, that's the correct way here. But at the same time I think someone used to being called Neev will answer to Nee Uv.

I agree that for the Irish name Niamh looks classier and much better written down.

Name help-- Niamh or Neve (or some other spelling)??

Hubby and I are having a little girl in July. We have decided on a name. but not the spelling.

The name is a traditional Irish name, which is very well-known in Ireland, and also pretty known in England. It is gaining some popularity in Australia as well. Problem is, it is pretty much unknown in the US, and the traditional Irish spelling is confusing, to say the least.

The name is pronounced "Neeve", like "Eve" with an "N". The true spelling, and the way it is spelled in Ireland, is Niamh (in Gaelic, the "i" gives an "e" sound and the "amh" is a "v").

An anglicized version used in the UK is Neve, however, in Ireland and the UK, Neve is seen as a trashy/uneducated misspelling.

Personally, I am not a big fan of creatively spelled or misspelled names here in the US-- for example, trading an "i" for a "y" at the end of a name to make it seem more modern. So, I lean toward the traditional spelling, Niamh.

However, I know that very few people in the US will be able to pronounce or spell Niamh-- so do we go with Neve? The problem with Neve is that Neve Campbell messed that one up-- since she pronounces her name Nev (hers is actually Scandinavian and a totally different name than Niamh/Neve).

What do you think? Niamh or Neve? Is Niamh too weird? Is Neve a lazy way out?

Also-- Nia is a traditional nickname for Niamh (yes, pronounced "Nee-a" even though Niamh is not pronounced that way), which wouldn't really work for Neve.

The full name will be Niamh/Neve Marie Flieger (our last name is pronounced Flee-ger, with a hard G). Both hubby and I have Irish ancestry.

Thank you for any input!!

It is often encountered by climbers on high-altitude expeditions and can vary in texture and hardness depending on the temperature and weather conditions. Additionally, neve is a term used in the Geology field to describe a surface layer of hardened snow or ice that forms in polar regions. It can be found in areas such as Antarctica and the Arctic and is usually several meters thick.

In summary, the correct spelling of the word neve is N-E-V-E, and it can refer to different types of snow and ice formations depending on the context..
