Maeve/Meave

Her name is indiscriminately spelled 'Meave' and 'Maeve' in this article. Since the original Irish name is Maeve (anglicised spelling, pronounced 'Mayve') with the 'a' before the 'e', I would expect this is correct. 'Meave' (suggesting the un-Irish pronunciation 'Meeve') sounds like a typical English mangling of an Irish name. In Donald Johanson's book 'Lucy' she is repeatedly called 'Meave', and the Wikipedia article perpetuates this confusion.

The Leakey Family site gives "Meave" so I will consolidate all non quotes to that form: [1] EmyP (talk) 12:03, 9 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
