nevaeh

[BubbleGuppie]

How do you say it? theres 2 people in my friends baby groups, all spelt the same and one says it like nav-ay-a .. Then n-ee-va and the other one is n-ee-v

I like the last way but dislike it being spelled heaven backwards... How else could it be spelt?

I know a Nevaeh here too. It's pronounced Nev-ay-uh. Not the same as Niamh. Which is pronounced Neev. Not the same as Neve, which is apparently pronounced Nev.
Just to add to the confusion.

Hahaha sooo confusing! Thats why I called my son Joshua, you cant get that wrong haha

Nevaeh is sooo 10 5 years ago.

I live in Manchester and here it's pronounced Ne-vay-OR! It's horrendous! Worst "name" ever!
Niamh however is lovely, but it really grinds my gears when people spell it phonetically, it just looks like you can't spell properly
I had Niamh on the list for DD and DP ruled it out, I later found out it was because he thought it said Nymph I shit you not! People are so dumb

It is not to my taste but each to their own. I know somebody whose daughter had the name and calls her Veah ( I can only presume she is trying to call the child anything except the actual given name).

On an aside the little girl mentioned above is breathtakingly pretty and could carry off being called Bagpuss !

DozyDonut I would have just said to the parents 'oh really! Nevaeh! We are seeing lots of baby Nevaehs these days, it's very popular!'... But then maybe that's an evil thing to do to a new parent...

The scary thing is, my phone just autocorrected Nevaeh for me. It's THAT popular!

I remember being absolutely when I first met a mum with a Nevaeh.

Its such a non name that it doesn't even warrant a capital letter in half the posts.

Nothing whatsoever to do with the ancient and lovely name Niamh, its a name generally used by people who can neither spell nor pronounce it properly (it has to be phonetic, since its made up it can't be other wise, so the only possible way to say it is nev-ay-ah).
Awful.

Sounds too much like Nivea to me

I know 3 of these, all aged between 1 and 3. All pronounced "Ner- vay- eh".

They are all children from different circles - all the mums felt they were being really unique. One is a hippie mum, one is an older career mum, and one is a bit chavvy. So it's a name that appeals across the masses.

Isn't Halle Berry's daughter named Navaeh?

Or NEVEAH even!

I give up.
Nevaeh!
Just call her Nivea and be done with it!

Nevaeh is pronounced Nev-ay-ah (as far as I am aware).

If your friend wants the name pronounced Neev, she is looking for Niamh.

Turquoise Halle Berry's daughter is called Nahla which is far nicer than Neveah!

Just. No.

Porn Star Name, however you might want to pronounce it.

ZolaGood thank you I stand corrected!
