Mae or Blaise (definitely not the Blaze spelling).
Is Nevina a name? I think it would get misheard as Davina. Prefer Nina.

NewScone · 22/02/2021 07:54

Mae
Spelt like that

Ijustlikedthename · 21/02/2021 20:20

Nevina

BallsToYouSue · 21/02/2021 09:56

Niamh (neev) is nice or Nia (nee-ah)?

VenusClapTrap · 21/02/2021 09:41

I love Nerina but not sure about Nevina.

May is beautiful.

glassshoes · 20/02/2021 22:45

I agree, Mae but spelt as May. With Nevina, I think Niamh would be an alternative I would prefer?

Ikeameatballs · 20/02/2021 22:42

I like Nevina.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 20/02/2021 21:42

Mae is gorgeous and very underused as a first name. But I'd also suggest using the much more popular/well known May spelling - as most people will assume this and it could be easier on your DD not to have to spell her name.

Nevina is okay, very unusual but sounds useable enough. Blaze is not good, sorry (sounds like a stage name or horses name to me).

LittleTiger007 · 20/02/2021 21:40

Mae is pretty.
I know a man called Blaze

Lotsachocolateplease · 20/02/2021 19:37

Mae (or may)
It’s simple, pretty and underused a a first name.

Penguin81 · 20/02/2021 19:32

Mae

user1493494961 · 20/02/2021 19:27

I would keep looking.

17caterpillars1mouse · 20/02/2021 19:20

Definitely Mae, though I'd personally spell it May

Happenchance · 20/02/2021 18:27

I prefer Mae (spelled May) from your list.

Blaze is a name that I associate with dogs. Have you considered Blythe instead?

Firebird83 · 20/02/2021 17:36

I prefer Nevena though

Firebird83 · 20/02/2021 17:35

Nevina

Edenember · 20/02/2021 16:43

Mae

SmeleanorSmellstrop · 20/02/2021 13:58

May! Don't like the others

Nell96 · 20/02/2021 12:41

Mae, but spelt May. Definitely not the other two.

BallsToYouSue · 20/02/2021 11:56

Another vote for May, not Mae, sorry Smile. Very nice and quite unusual as a first name.

I did know a Blaze or maybe it was Blaise but pronounced like Blaze, at university. She got very grumpy when people were a bit surprised by it. Offputting!

I've never heard of Nevina. Sounds imilar to Nevaeh...not mad about either.

partyatthepalace · 20/02/2021 11:02

May but spelt like that

Not the other two

Recipe123 · 20/02/2021 10:50

I know a girl called Blaise and I think it’s really cool OP. Other than that, Mae, but spelt May

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 20/02/2021 09:47

Blaze is the name of a (male) monster machine on popular kids tv show.

I would go with Nevina Mae

RosesAndHellebores · 20/02/2021 09:42

May or Davina

IckleBear · 20/02/2021 09:40

Mae but spelt May.
Definitely not Blaze!
