Thoughts on Nevaeh?

[Tylerjayde]

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.

Your other children have such beautiful and classic names OP, it would just be wrong, IMO, to burden call the next child that.

What about Natasha?

You’ve got Penelope as a middle name, why not use that as it goes well with your other DC. Penelope Elizabeth is beautiful

Really don't like it.

I know a lovely girl called Neveah. She’s well behaved and tries hard at school. Any teacher would be lucky to teach her. What a horrible comment about tough schools.

Neveah is the worst name ever. It isn't even a name. Don't do it.

It's really good. Go for it. I see no downsides to this.

Personally, we never had any more kids after David and Susan. However, if we had been blessed with a third, we were keen on Tarquin Fin-tim-lim-bim-lim-bin-bim-bin-bim bus stop F'tang F'tang Ole Biscuitbarrel. Feel free to take it as it won't get used now, and it took us ages to agree on the exact spelling.

I always thought it was said like Neve. .

@JurgenKloppsCat that's made me chuckle!

I would rather just use the name Heaven than spell it backwards. It comes across as a bit youneeq. What about Lois?

The one I vaguely know seems like a nice child, too. Nonetheless, someone will be looking at 'Nevaeh' on a list in the future and thinking, 'God, remember when some dimwit started the trend of Heaven backwards as a name?' and that's not a nice way to have yourself encountered for your first contact with potential employers, matches on online dating etc -- looking like someone whose parents had gimmicky taste in names.

It's a vaguely more upmarket version of Khaleesi.

Koomoo the way DH heard it pronounced was Na-Vey-Ah.

@fairenuff We didn’t know it was heaven backwards until we looked it up, that’s what put us off it in the first place.

Ah the OP returns! Are you still considering it?

I really love the sound of it, but I’m not into the backwards spelling. DH still loves it, so it’s going to take some convincing to make him change his mind. My personal favourite at the moment is Maya with the middle name Penelope, but DH said it’s not his favourite.

I absolutely love it. I know of one and she really suits it. Such a pretty name.

I love Nia

Freya sounds like Nevaeh

I’m trying to convince DH to agree to a different name, especially since I’m called Tyler (which in my opinion is a masculine name) and I hated it while growing up. Also if we have a boy we’re going to call him George Thomas, so I’m going to say that we need a normal name like that’s if we have another girl.

People will call her Nev.

Or Nivea

TBH TylerJade, you seem tohave your head screwed on with regards to names, so just put your foot down with your husband. It's a silly stripper's name and isn't suitable for anyone under 21 and not wearing nipple tassles.

It's terrible. Probably the worst name I have ever heard.

Why on earth would you choose this made up, impossible to pronounce and often mis-spelt name if you don't like its entire premise that it's heaven spelt backwards?

@whitney168 I haven’t chose it and if I was going to it’d be because I like the spelling and sound of the name, not because of the fact it’s heaven backwards.

@Tylerjayde I also like the sound and look of Nevaeh, but don't like the fact that it is heaven backwards. I love your other children's names and think that Maya Penelope goes with them, just put your foot down and explain your reasoning to DH. P.S- love your middle name ;) ( its mine too).

Tell him you don't like it and that should be the end of it. You both have to like a name which you ar going to be giving to your child.

The whole point of the name is that is is Heaven backwards, ther is no getting away from that.
