Guest guest Posted September 1, 2001 Report Share Posted September 1, 2001 People must choose names just by their sound, as I've seen some weird spellings of Niamh, including 'Neve' and 'Neive', round here. My brain keeps converting the 'e' in Neive to 'a', which would make it an even more peculiar name!

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2001 Report Share Posted September 1, 2001 There was an MP who was killed by the IRA in the 1970s (?) called Airey Neave - maybe there is a connection to his family?

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2001 Report Share Posted September 2, 2001 My FIL is called 'Neave' and my partner has that as one of his middle names. I have no idea where it came from!
