Nevaeh

[toffeepopcornbrownie]

Thoughts on this? Personally I'm not keen but DP likes it for our 3rd DD. Think it sounds a bit chavy tbh.

I'm not sure how you are pronouncing it, but it reminds me of nevus, which include multiple different skin conditions. Don't look up hairy nevus! 😕

It screams out 'young mother from a humble socio-economic background'.

I knew someone once whose granddaughter was called Chardonnay. Its a step up from that, but that’s the best I can say.

No. If your partner likes the sound, then Niamh is the way to go.

No

The family I know who've used this name are middle class but very religious.

Could you change the spelling? Nevaya or something like that? The spelling more than the sound is so offputting.

I think it’s awful sorry

S’ti a on morf em

I know of a Naveya (Navy for short) which I found really cute!

I'm sorry but I absolutely hate this
There's bound to be other names which mean " heavenly" or precious
Even something such as Faith( I like this) or even Angela

Or, Haven is often used as a name now.

Awful name.

Me morf on a s’ti…🤓

It's horrendous.

Firstly, Heaven spelled backwards!! Just why? Utterly stupid.

Secondly, it reminds me of Nivea moisturiser and suncream. Just no!!

I wouldn't have used my veto on baby names for that much, but definitely would have for this one. My foot would be going down with a huge clang.

You are having a lovely baby. Give her a lovely name. Not this one!

It’s fucking awful. And always gets followed with ‘it’s heaven backwards’. We know. Everyone knows.

The Nevaeh at my DCs school gets her name screeched loudly across the playground by her mum whose only volume is loud.

I actually love it, I think it has a beautiful sound and rolls off the tongue nicely.

Funnily enough, one of the reasons I dislike it is because I feel it's quite clunky to say .

And always gets followed with ‘it’s heaven backwards’ Especially if they've spelt it as Neveah. Nevaya/Naveya is probably worse.

How about Sedah? (say-da, Hades backwards )

@SerenityNowSerenityNow , it's awful. It doesn't look or sound pretty.

It's just grim and embarrassing.

I would never judge the child but might judge the parents.

I had a Nevaeh in my class once. She was lovely and her mum was actually nice too. I still don't like the name.

Ask him what the point of having this name is? Is it even a name or just a made up jumble of letters?

Very chavvy. There is one in my kids school. We are east London so it's pronounced "Nav-ayyy-yarrrr" .
Also isn't there something a bit sinister about Heaven but backwards? Like a bit satanic or something!

Angelica, Celeste, Gabriela all better

Mumsnet hates this name for some reason.
It's not a name I would personally use but I quite like it and wouldn't bat an eyelid if I meet anyone called it.
What I really actually hate is the use of "chav".
Such an insulting word.

No, it's dreadful.
Maybe..
