help for my sister
| Sat, 06-21-2008 - 2:20am |
My sister is expecting her 4th child...a girl who is due in 3 weeks.
They are 100% sure her name is going to be Neve Olivia, but they aren't sure how to spell it. (I know Neve Olivia is quite "V" heavy, but this is their last baby and Olivia is a special & significant name for them)
Neave
Neve
Neeve
Niamh
What do you think? is Neve the "correct" spelling? they dont want it to sound silly or made up
My nieces and nephew

No, Neve is made up. Niamh is an Irish name and the only correct spelling. All the others are Americanized and since Niamh is such a beautiful name I would suggest you keep that way.
HTH :)

Neve is the best spelling for this country - she will be consantly asked how to pronounce her name is you spell it Niamh - only real baby name addicts or people from Ireland will have any clue that's pronounced like Neve
