The name 'Niamh'...

[Jamie.]

I've always had a bit of trouble saying the name 'Niamh'.

I've heard people say 'Naomi' and I've heard others say it is 'Neev'...

Could someone clear this up for me?...

[Jake.]

Neeve

[Ammi]

..Neeva say neeva...Neeve...

It's "Nyan" as in the cat

thats a bit of a mouthful to say claudia

[Jordan.]

She fell in love with Fionn’s son Oisin (read the legend of Niamh and Oisin) and lived with him in Tir-na-nOg (“Land of the Young”) (read the legend) where 300 years passed in what seemed like three weeks.

So this Niamh lived to be 300 too? :huh:

[Jordan.]

I think that's the first Niamh is joke I've ever done

-never does again-

I have trouble with Eoin - I know how it's pronounced but I have a childhood friend whose name is spelled that way but it's pronounced like Iain, which is wrong, but that's his name.

[Glenn.]

I still read Niamh as neema. Reading it how's it's pronounced makes me angry.

[Ninastar]

I say nimph

[joe199998293]

I always say Ny-amph

[Roy Mars III]

Niamh isn't even a real name

^This. I have the same problem, cos in Scotland, Eoin seems to be Ian, but after about a year of knowing Iceman I realised his was pronounced Owen... Yet I still think of him as Ian.. :/

[Jake.]

if we are on the discussion of names I still read Niall as Neal

[lily.]

I read it as Nigh-Al ... I don't know if that's right though..

[Ammi]

..yeah, in my head it's Ee-on but I think it's actually Owen..?...

Eoin is pronounced like Owen.

Niamh is Neev, how many more times, MH is pronounced as V in Irish as is BH :fist:

I know but my friend's called Eoin "Iain", it always confuses me :laugh:

The old Irish translation of "Owen" is actually Eoghan (just to confuse matters even more) :laugh:
