Ok, I have heard [name]Jemima[/name] pronounced Ja-My-Mah and [name]Jem[/name]-im-ah which way do you pronouce it?

Also, [name]Mauve[/name] I have heard [name]Mave[/name] like Wave with a M and I have heard Mau-ve like the color and I never know which way is correct.

There’s only one way to pronounce [name]Jemima[/name] and that’s “je-mye-mah”. [name]Mauve[/name] is pronounced like the colour (mohve). The Irish name [name]Maeve[/name] would be like “Wave with an M”.
