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?

Ridiculous and tacky.

It's dreadful. Definitely on the same level as Chardonnay. Plus people always spell it wrong (Neveah) which makes it even worse.

It’s a name doesn’t sound or look nice, so no.

No, no, a thousand times no

Why not Esidarap or Aipotu or Anavrin or Tsud Rats Fo Selcitrap Modnar?

It's not to my taste but the idea that only some names are "made up" is absolute bollocks and oftentimes thinly veiled racism. Every single name was made up at one point.

It's not bollocks at all, and as to racism? . Can you elaborate on why it's racist to think this name is ridiculous?

Awful, cheap and tacky in my opinion.

Hannah

I first came across that name on 'Teen Mom'....

How about Neve? Andrea (An-dray-a)? I know a Slovenian one)

@Trunkybun1

There are a lot of babies/toddlers called Neveah near me. I wouldn’t choose it personally.

Move house?? 🤣

Never never never :-0

@Enko

I don't like it but I would count it a fairly normal name these days.

I do like Nayvee and I know many won't. They are similar in my view.

What fresh hell is this?? Do you mean like the colour Navy, but spelt incorrectly????

Aside from the tacky factor I also agree with the pp who said heaven backwards comes across a bit satanic. Aren't satanic prayers said backwards or something?

Nayvee/Navy is also awful btw.

I know one.

I think Nevaya is miles better tbh. Still made up but at least loses the heaven spelt backwards thing which is extremely tacky.

Will you hang an upside down crucifix on the wall in the nursery?!

🤣🤣🤣

Made up names rarely work well. I read somewhere the other day that Princess Tiaamii hates her name. The middle name is both her gran's names mushed together. Poor girl!

It doesn't even sound nice. Definitely tacky and made up, you're right

Made me think of Nivea cream

I know two - one is pronounced like Nuh-Vay-uh, and the other is just pronounced Nuh-Vay.

I must admit I’m not too keen on the first pronunciation, but I actually really love the second

Awful name.
What about
Anul, Anal, Avon, (Luna, Lana and Nova, the most recent babies born in my family- but backwards because that’s better)

Anal??? Very curious

I'm so slow, just got it hahaha. Thought you were saying someone in your family called their child anal 😂

@Ingloriousbasterd poor Lana
