With some help from an Irish speaking neighbor and listening to Meav herself, it should be NEE WELL CUH HUH but as many words in Irish, is said rather quickley so it sort of blends together. The Ni means "daughter of" and Meav is a very old Irish name dating back to the fourth century(and no, there`s no English translation for it unlike Mairead which is a variation of Mary.)

Mayv is the correct way to pronounce it. To go o/t for a second, Lisa Kelly is Laoise Ni Cheallaigh and pronounced Leesha Ni Kellig.

It sounded like "Mayv" to me and my elderly Irish neighbor(born and brought up in Dublin) has a neice by that name in Ireland and pronounces it as Mayv, too.Maybe we should ask for Maggie`s advice on this one.

I pronounced Meav, "Meeev" for awhile!
I wouldn't dare attempt pronouncing her last name. hehe

I've never had a problem with Méav's first name. I tried her last name once. It took me three days to untangle my tongue so I could talk again. On another note, about the original video in this thread, I've been on the cruise the two women were on. They said they were going to Puerto Vallarta, then to Cabo San Lucas. That means they were most likely in Mazatlan. They appear to have spent some time at Señor Frog's. Having spent some time there myself, I can tell you that they are lucky to be able to pronounce their own names!  Gary |

They traveled across the angry sea in 1849
With all that they could carry
They traveled sick, they traveled blind
Their home, the starving island, just a photo in their mind
They buried the dead at sea, winter 1849

So, this is an old thread I know, but it has been very helpful to me!!! When I bought the first CD, I pronounced it "Meeve" and I had NO idea how to say her last name!!! Then, when I bought the first DVD and heard her say her name, I felt bad!!! I still can't really say her last name (all of these nice pronunciations have been VERY helpful, though, so I will practice!!), but I always have to correct people who call her "Meeve." It's Mayv!!!!! Haha!!! Thanks to everyone for the help!!!!  |

My mom saw her first cd in a catalog and decided to get it for me. It was before Silver Sea came out and therefore before CW even existed.
