I keep reading about the name Neveah, but have never met one! Do you pronounce it like Nivea??

Benjispruce · 25/07/2019 08:01

The one I know of is pronounced
Nevaya with emphasis on the second syllable.

There's a Mum at school who has a baby boy Lou "Loo". Not Louis just Lou. I know it's a name but it just seems a bit well like calling him "toilet".

Nogodsnomasters · 25/07/2019 08:41

Coist, layne (both boys)

ghislaine · 25/07/2019 08:44

I feel that may be saddling the poor boy with some heavy expectations.

I know of a baby Guy and preschooler Deborah.
