Indian name, Neha?

[Usernameornousername]

What are your opinions? Thanks!

I have a colleague with this name so I associate it with a very beautiful young vivacious hard working woman. But it is mispronounced almost all the time. I don't think she particularly minds but it must get annoying.

@Iamblossom How do they usually mispronounce it?

My daughter's friend is called this. Beautiful name. She pronounces it Nay ha

One of DS's classmates was a Neha, pronounced Nay hah or Nay ha... it was a good while ago now and I can't remember

Lovely name - I would instinctively pronounce it Ney -hah, but you might occasionally get Nee -hah if that matters.

How do you say it - Knee-hah?

Neha is beautiful.

It's not to my taste -- it's okay but a little nasally. I think there are much prettier names out there. Nidhi, for example.

I know a few women names Sneha but no-one named Neha. I like it - assuming it is pronounced ney - hah.

It gets pronounced Nay Ha but when I asked her she said it as Nehuh

It’s nice, but does it risk just getting said as ‘Nia’ I mean, assuming the ‘h’ sound is meant to be sounded)?

I've known a Neha and it wasn't often mispronounced. I think it is a beautiful name but I'm probably influenced by the girl I used to know who was absolutely lovely and loads of fun.

It's a very common Indian name, Neha...at least when I was growing up. I've never heard anyone mispronounce it but depends where you live I suppose and how diverse it is

Great, thanks for such useful info! Not sure about it yet tbh, will keep pondering over it

My daughter is called Neha and it's pronounced Naya in the UK

If you like Neha, use it.

I think of Nays and Yeas as the names of the negative and affirmative votes on a proposal at a meeting.
"The Nays have it".
"The Yeas have the vote", the proposal is passed.

A Naya is also a horse or pony when vocal.

Lovely of you to insult my daughter

I like it. I was at school with a Neha and have met a couple since.
