Nevaeh as a girl's name.. Yay or nay?

[bowsandbangles]

I'm currently expecting a DD and my DP likes the name Nevaeh but I think is sounds really tacky and well...made up.
It's Heaven spelt backwards... I work at a nursery and there are 2 babies with that name!
I prefer traditional solid names with meaning and substance behind them, rather than made up sounding ones.
Imagine the poor kids having to spend their lives repeating and explaining their name, having to spelt it out endlessly when people don't "get" it?

Sorry I think it's awful...very tacky

I actually think it is a lovely sounding name, but the heaven-backwards thing makes it a bit tacky and made-up.

Sorry but this is awful. I'm not a fan of names that you can't tell how to pronounce without being told - it just sets the DC up for a lifetime of awkward conversations whenever they meet someone.

It is tacky and made up.

I wouldn't have a clue how to pronounce it

It always makes me think of naevus.

Please don't

No.

Tacky!

Awful!

It sounds tacky and made up because it is! Trust your judgement.

Is it pronounced Nev-ay-a? I never know how to say it. It's objectively pretty-sounding if it's said that way. But the spelling, and confusion over pronunciation, and the 'Heaven backwards' thing make it seem a bit unusable. Why not just call her Heaven if that's what the meaning is?

I think is sounds really tacky and well...made up

There's a reason you think that.

I’m not a fan. If he likes the sound of the name how about Niamh?

I love it. However on here If your kids haven't got posh names such as
Otillie. Arabella. Octavia. Juliette or Henrietta its "tacky".

Is it pronounced the same as Niamh?

If so just I love it. But not with that spelling!

I think it's worse when it's Naveh Mai

Awful and embarrassingly tacky

Not a fan, not just because when I think 'heaven backwards' I think of hell, but I just don't like the sound of it.

N-vay-er.

Is it pronounced the same as Niamh?

Not even slightly.

Oh OK! Thanks.

@Awwlookatmybabyspider

N-vay-er.

No, not a fan if that's how you pronounce it!

Awful awful awful

No.

DC21’s best friend is a Nevaeh and I ALWAYS spell it wrong, poor kid, I’m forever appologising.

There’s at least one in every swimming class, gym class we go to.

Gosh, absolutely. Call your DC Wobniar or Naeco or Moorhsum.

FAR better that the poor little sods have a miserable life of people taking the piss than that anyone should think you're 'posh'
