Thoughts on Nevaeh?

Tylerjayde · 15/04/2019 01:57

Hi, We’re expecting our 5th in June and DH recently suggested the name Nevaeh after hearing it at work, we both really like it but we looked more into it. Just so we could find the correct spelling and a middle name to go with it.

I’m not too keen on the fact it’s spelt heaven backwards, I don’t know why I’m just not. What are you thoughts? Also if you have a middle name idea please put it below so far we have;
•Nevaeh Penelope
•Nevaeh Elizabeth
•Nevaeh Imogen and
•Nevaeh Evelyn

If not what other suggestions do you have, Siblings names are;

•Willow Savannah
•Elijah Joseph
•Isabelle Olivia and
•Lydia Catherine

Thank you.- Tyler.

Niamh or Natasha are much better.

StarlingsEverywhere · 15/04/2019 07:31

What about Niamh?

Jessabean · 15/04/2019 07:33

Why not go with naeva? Has the same/similar pronunciation as far as I'm aware and isn't made up/doesn't have the cliche spelling heaven backwards thing!

That or Niamh/Neve.

It always make me think of the face cream. I don't really like it either.

Luglio · 15/04/2019 07:38

My first thought was 'naevus'.

Another one saying 'please don't '.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 15/04/2019 07:38

Really tacky and every mother of a Neveah is always really proud that they chose such a unique name - but it’s quite popular now actually.

I was going to suggest Haven or Honor but I don’t think you’ll like those as you don’t like the heaven connection. So I guess it’s the sound you like so what about

Niamh (or Neve?? That splits opinion but I know one),
Naomi,
Eve,
Maya?

I did a few weeks supply teaching in a really, really rough school and found two in one class! Not keen from that association,

What a bitchy snobby remark to make.

GiantPretzel · 15/04/2019 07:42

Jessa, Naeva would be pronounced ‘Nayva’ rather than ‘Nevaya’, though. Plus a naevus is a birthmark.

Shinyshit · 15/04/2019 07:42

Please don't.

GiantPretzel · 15/04/2019 07:42

X-post with Luglio.

ContessaIsOnADietDammit · 15/04/2019 07:43

It's hideous. It's also the sort of name chosen by people who aren't intelligent enough to think "So logically that's Hell, right?" after being told that it's Heaven backwards. At least that's what I would assume Blush

Ellabella989 · 15/04/2019 07:45

Its awful! Don’t do it!

Sorry

wowfudge · 15/04/2019 07:47

Not Vaya as suggested by a pp - that means 'go' in Spanish.

SileneOliveira · 15/04/2019 07:47

Nevaeh should NEVER be used. Ever. It's right at the top of the "worst names in the world" list.

Sorry OP. Just don't.

flumpybear · 15/04/2019 07:56

Very chav ... sorry 😐

Wheresmyvagina · 15/04/2019 07:58

So so bad. Don't do it!

BeansandRice · 15/04/2019 08:03

I’d have difficulty not thinking

Nivea

Do you really want to call your daughter after a face cream? (A very good one, but still ...)

WanderingTrolley1 · 15/04/2019 08:03

Awful name to burden a child with.

Sexnotgender · 15/04/2019 08:04

Terrible name.

TrixieFranklin · 15/04/2019 08:05

Agree it's a non-name name

TheSassyAssassin · 15/04/2019 08:07

WTAF? People call their kids this? Awful. Truly awful

DameSylvieKrin · 15/04/2019 08:08

All names were made up at some point in history.
Saying that, Nevaeh might be stigmatising for your child.
How about Niove or Niobe, Naomi, Noemi or Noa?

Whoops75 · 15/04/2019 08:09

It’s awful and doesn’t go with your other names which are all lovely 😊

Faith
Faye
Holly
Emma

Something like these would be nicer imo
