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?

@BruceAndNosh

I wouldn't have a clue how to pronounce it
Like Nivea face cream, I'd guess.

So it’s not the name itself that is unacceptable, but it’s connotations?
Really?
Can you not see what’s wrong with that?

@spanielstail

It's very tacky and people with judge. It is a name that stands out as working class like the Hayden's, Jayden's and Gracie-Mae's.

Unfortunately that comes with it a set of behaviour expectations.

what behaviour expectations do you have of people who stand out as being upper class?

With any luck you'll have twins and you can call the other one Abcde then you'll have the full set in one go.
