Niamh is trad Irish spelling. Like Pádraig. Nothing unusual there.
Once worked with a girl called Kaytlynne, who was very much English and a bit chavvy. Her parents were clearly trying too hard.

Yeah, but unlike that CUNT Norman, he doesn't go around trying to convince people it should be pronounced "Sinjen".

To be fair to carlitos, there are regularly far more spammy threads than this one.
I'll offer this one, which although not common, is quite interesting. There is a girl's name "Niamh" which is pronounced "Neeve".
CRAZYTOWN!
