[Opinions] Re: Nevaeh, Noa, Nyx
in reply to a message by Billina
I just would not call a child any of those.
If I had to live with one of them myself ...
Nix on Nyx. Unusable. I hate the idea someone addressed with what sounds like a rejection. As bad as naming someone Dye. Or Nyet. And it's stupidly gothy too.
Nevaeh is pretty sounding but gives a certain impression to a lot of people that I don't want to give.
Noa has a similar problem to Nyx, No - uh... haha. I would hate very much to be called Noa. Yet it also happens to sound like an ultra-well-known Bible man name. So it's kinda like naming a girl Adam. Bleagh.
So, Nevaeh it is. But once it is mine, I get to respell it, at least. Nevaea or Naveia. Haters will hate regardless, so at least I can have it look a little nicer to me.
