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.

Dreadful name IMO.

The heaven backwards thing just feels too gimmicky.

It does actually have a pretty sound though. Doesn't sound much like Nivea as the accented syllable is in a different place.

If you are looking for modern religious-inspired maybe Eden? Or if it's three syllable names maybe Anaya/Amara/Amaia/Soraya/Talia/Alina/Eliza/Alisa/Elena/Carenza/Savannah etc.

Sorry I hate it. One of DD has a friend with the name but for some reason her mum has put a Y in it and it really grinds my gears. Not only that but it's really common now, there are a few at school and every club DD does out of school has at least one neveah in.

Lufwa

It's awful. Why not lleh? Or yks?

Awful. Definitely chavvy

Why you’d name a dc with a name linked to dying is beyond me.

Yes like you can summon the devil by saying nevaeh three times while spinning around

It's one of the worst names I've ever heard. Sounds cheap and tacky.

Yuck. Chavtastic.

Poor child: she’ll have to spell it out every time, and I would be wondering how to say it. Put it in the bin and find your DD a different name for her sake!

Chavvy and done to death 🙈

Hate, hate, hate.

Agree that it sounds chavy

Truly dreadful!

Nope.

NO!!!

It really, REALLY annoys me that people say Nevaeh is Nev-ay-ah. It’s NOT. Heaven backwards would be Never-eh.

Makes me think of Nivea hand cream. So a no from me

Awful. Just awful. Sorry op

Literally my least favourite name, just awful

Ne-VAY-uh.

I used to think it was a chav name until I met the most loveliest delightful little Nevaeh
I think anyone being anti the name is a person with a carrot or 3 up their arse!

It's tacky.

It's a pleasant sounding name. Part of the opposition to it here is that it's American and also not middle class. I personally like it a lot more than the very MN-approved Imogen and Verity.
