    #1 Never heard of it , so I cannot answer. 

    #2 'Niamh' is an Irish (Erse) Gaelic name, and is pronounced as 'Neve/Neev'.  The phonetics  of the Gaelic languages are completely different to English and modern European languages. Other common Erse female names are 'Siobhan(Pronounced as 'Shivorn') and 'Grainne(Pronounced as 'Granyah'). 

    #3 Oriana is said as 'Or-ee-ah-na'.

    1. I'd say ee-lee-anne. 

    2. It's neev, an Irish name. 

    3. Or-ee-ah-na. Orianna would be or-ee-anna. I love both!
