How do you pronounce the Irish girl's name Baibre?

I would pronounce it "baw-breh"...but the thing with Irish names is that they can be pronounced so many different ways depending on the dialect!

How do you pronounce the Irish girl's name Baibre?
I've never seen that name here in Ireland. There is a similar name, but with an 'r' in it - Bairbre, which is the Irish for Barbara and pronounced fairly similarly, just a bit faster, without emphasis on the middle 'a'. Barbra instead of Bar-ba-ra.
