I think I like Neve Erin better, simply because Erin Neeve seems to blend together too much.

Neve Erin was my first thought but I started saying Erin Neve over and over and was all confused, so thanks for the input!

This, I wish my parents had thought of it.

Neve Erin.

If I had to choose, Neve Erin

definitely Neve Erin. Erin Neve becomes one big jumbled name to me because of the 'n' sounds right next to each other.

Neve Erin but I prefer the celtic spelling, Niamh.

I was going to say that - although I don't think I'd combine a celtic name with a name for Ireland (unless there's a good reason why the character's parents might have wanted to sound quite so um cariacaturely Irish) personally.

I like Niahm but not a lot of people would get that's pron. Neve and probably butcher it. There *is* a reason the character has such an irish name though. Going on meaning her name translates to bright Ireland anyway :p and I need that for the story.

Since its a fictional character I figured you might have a good reason for it.

I love the name Neve! =) Anyway...Neve Erin. I think it flows better.

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

I actually love both names and Erin is on my list for a real baby if I have one one day =)

Neve Erin, the other way sounds like you're slurring.

I like Neve better than Erin, but I think Erin Neve flows better than Neve Erin.

I like the name Erin better than Neve, but Neve Erin flows better.

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

these were my thoughts exactly but then I try to avoid names I'd use on children for my fictional characters... so I think Neve Erin would be better anyway!

Erin Neve. It sounds so much better to me.

Neve Erin. On another note, I've only heard it pronounced the other way, like saying the word never.
