>>>You say Naimh is pronounced "Neeve," but how
is "Neeve"
pronounced--Nuh-evah? Neevah? Neev? Neevay? NeeVAY? Neevuh?

Yeah, many congrats Mike, but the name is Niamh isn't it?

I mean, I thought I'd heard of Niamh in Yeats. Checked it and found this from bartelby:

O Patrick! for a hundred years
The gentle Niamh was my wife;
But now two things devour my life;
The things that most of all I hate:
Fasting and prayers.
