I’ll go first, I hate to say but I genuinely think nevaeh has such a pretty sound but the name itself tends to get alot of hate.

Most names are fine, but I don't like names being mispronounced, such as Niamh, where the mispronounced version becomes mainstream

I like 'middle-aged' names like Darren, Gary and Nigel

😅yours is similar to mine. I had a really Irish cool teacher called Niamh when i was in secondary school so I am thinking maybe that for my kid if it's a girl but people always pronounce it wrong so hate it.

Niamh is nothing like Nevaeh!

Niamh is quite popular now so people are learning to say is properly.
