That sounded eeriely similar to how a coworker of mine attempted to pronounce Méav's name. Personally, I love to say her name and see people's reaction to how it's pronounced. They look at me in disbelief! I will agree with the two ladies in the video, sometimes Irish does sound Yiddish.

I can butcher the name very well thank you. Like someone standing on my tongue while I talk.

I have to agree Jim I do the same thing no matter how many time I have heard it pronounced.

I know that she pronounced it like 'mayv' or the Irish version of 'Maeve." I used to say it like 'meev'. *blush*  Lips sealed

I've learned it from the first Celtic Woman DVD because it doesn't sound that bad.

Actually, I think they were off on her first name too. Cheesy Cheesy
That hurt, man. Shocked


And she apparently is not the only one who listens to "that group".  (Just ask the millions of concert-goers, PBS fans, and forum members!) Cheesy

That's certainly true, it's quite entertaining Wink And I know it's just a difficult name to pronounce, but it was just funny to see someone else try to say her name (Because I too butchered her name plenty of times before I knew how to say it Grin)

Hello Everyone,

What I am about to post, I have posted on meavforum.com, you can read it all there,  but just briefly I would like to share with all of you.

I did some research Aug 29th, this video came out in 2007, I found the email address to the host Michelle, (she is the one with dark hair).

So I sent an email off to her but I did it in a friendly manner because I feel that a fan of an artist, when talking about that particular artist UNofficially becomes a spokes person of that artist. I did not want to make an enemy I want to make a fan.

I told her that I enjoyed it and how we, including myself mess up Meav's name.  Also if you watch the video again, she really did not know a thing about CW.  So i gave her a brief history of CW.

I invited her to look at this site and various other sites of of Meav & CW, also check youtube & upcoming PBS show.

Well today, Sept 11th, I received a reply.  Having problem with pasteing but here it is word-for-word:

WOW!  What a great introduction to them!  Thank you so much for all the information - it's really fascinating stuff.  I love the idea that they were put together to show off Ireland and then ended up being this phenomenal success.. Kudos to them!  Smiley

I just checked out Meav's and the Celtic Woman websites and will definitely look them up on youtube when my connection improves...

Thanks Again, and have a great rest of your week!

That's it, maybe there will be a future fan,
Spread the Love!

Best Regards,
Howard

That's awesome! I knew when and how this vid was made, but didn't think of actually informing her she'd kinda said it wrong. Smart of you, and very kind of her to reply! And that she's interested^^

Thanks a bunch!
