[Opinions] Re: Nevaeh
in reply to a message by Lily
The one Nevaeh I've actually met in real life (and this was on a baby about four years ago) pronounced it as neh-VAY-ah so that's how I tend to assume that it's pronounced. There was also a Nevaeh in a dance recital that I was in this past weekend (she was in a 3 & 4 year old class), but I don't know how she pronounced it.
Yeah, I do think it's tacky, but that's just because I think that names like its frontward version, Heaven, are also tacky. I also get annoyed when people think they're so unique by naming their daughters Nevaeh... whereas in reality there were about 6000 Nevaehs born in the US last year. The sound isn't too bad, I suppose, but I'd tend to go for an alternative like Neve, Neva, etc.
