The NEV pronunciation is odd - but then US language has a history of changing pronunciations (vase being VAIS instead of VAHZ, for instance) so maybe it's just an altered version of Neve/Niamh.

In Neve Campbell's case, if her parents chose the Italian word they may well have only seen it written and have been ignorant of the correct pronunciation.
