How do you pronounce Maeve?

May-vuh? May-vee? Mayv? I see this everywhere and I think it's pretty but I don't know the correct pronunciation. TIA

It rhymes with "save".

This. Although I did know one Maeve who pronounced it "meev" with the long E sound.

Like others said, it's generally Mave. I do know one who does it like May-Eve.

Yep, it's Mayv. And I think this is a beautiful choice. Rare yet feminine.
