Hello. I'm glad that you're confident in yourself. Don't let other people's opinions on your name bring you down. My name is William Barrow, and I'm 17 years old. I normally go by Will, and because of that, people would always joke about my name saying "Wheel Barrow" to make fun of me. My middle name is horrible, and would've cause more teasing, so I didn't have that option. I was feeling down about myself, and I was hating myself because of my name and other reasons. But, now I'm confident and love myself. In fact, I embrace "wheel barrow" now, and it helps people pronounce my last name correctly (yes, I work with Wheel Barrows if you're wondering.) My first name is rather common, but I only know 3 other people that are my age with my name. People in the comment section of William say that it's an old man's name. Also that people named William are very weird. I'm not old, but old people were babies once too. Besides, there's nothing wrong with being old. Also, I like being weird. It means that I'm not like other people, it means that I'm different (though you can't call everyone with a name alike, no 2 people are alike). I love meeting people with my name, it's really fun. I, personally, like your name. I think it's pretty cool and youthful. Don't let other people's opinions alter your opinion on your name. Besides, they might not actually have it. They wouldn't know what it's like to be a Nevaeh. Embrace yourself and love yourself, don't let others tell you otherwise.
