Help[Opinions] Re: Nevaeh
in reply to a message by Lily
I dislike it and find it silly. And the pronunciation issue just makes it worse: at least if you invert Noel you get Leon ... but a name that you've constantly got to spell out for people and/or give them pronunciation coaching has got to be bad news.
My DD had a perfectly ordinary English-speaking South African boyfriend at one point whose name was Navarre. Now it's an SUV, but then his mother liked the sound of it. You never know what the random set of sounds of your choice might make a manufacturer think of: Bathroom cleaner? Earthworm farm? Surgical gloves?
I've never encountered a Nevaeh in South Africa, but nothing would surprise me. And I've never heard it said either.
