Spill the beanz

lol, most people do, it's Irish and there's no V in the Irish language so mh together make a V sound

It makes no sense because I do know logically that you're right, it's Neeve :ninja I just hear it as Neem. I think my brain is refusing to process the H.

I didn't know there was literally no V in the irish language, that's pretty interesting. I like the name Siobhan, I guess an H after another letter is a good indicator of a V sound?

yeah, it's just an mh and a bh that it happens with. There's actually a few other letters missing from the Irish alphabet as well
