Correct pronunciation, like the third commenter said is "NYEH-ves", both "e"s like in "get". The letter "v" can be pronounced as either "v" or "b" in English (some Spanish speakers make the distinction between them, although most don't).The NYEH part is pronounced like NIE in Danielle. This is because "nie" in "Nieves" is a sole syllable in Spanish. [noted -ed]
