My cousin posted on FB asking for name suggestions for her DD due in October. Of the 17 responses she got, 6 of them recommended "Nevaeh". I replied with some name suggestions, and I had to add something like "please don't name your DD Nevaeh. That name is terrible."
3 different ppl (none of whom I know, or have ever met/heard of) sent me messages explaining why Nevaeh is the best name is the whole world, and what a huge biotch I am for not liking it. And I quote, "Don't be a hater. Your just mad cuz you had a boy and couldn't use a good name. Nevaeh is the most beautiful name I know of. It is heaven spelled backward and I named my baby that because she is a beautiful angel."
Re: Blasted on FB for my hate of "Nevaeh"
I don't think so. My cousin is 29, and at least one of them went to HS with her. I know another works with her as a nurse.

"Don't be a hater. Your just mad cuz you had a boy and couldn't use a good name.
Certainly doesn't sound like a someone over 21 to me!
hater? Cuz?
I'd say the name is perfect for someone like that to name their child, dont you>? lol
LOL exactly. I had to C&P it, because my edited version (with spelling correction) wouldn't have done it justice.
In my defense (not that I need to defend myself...the name sucks, and I'm not sorry for thinking so) she didnt say she had a child named Nevaeh. I probably would have bitten my tongue if had known, just so I didnt offend. I think its kind of weird that she would suggest her own child's name to a friend. I purposely avoided names of ppl/children I know when choosing DS's name.

There's a girl in my nursing school class who is over 30 who writes just like this on fb and our communication system at school. She adds numbers where words should be, and she abbreviates words that don't need abbreviating (nd instead of and...why does leaving off 1 letter make it so much easier to type, especially when you can just use &...she does it constantly). It all drives me crazy.
Agreed!

Excuse my ignorance, but is this name pronounced:
"Neh-..."
Okay. I don't know how to pronounce it.
"Nah-VAY-AH"
Is that right?
That doesn't sound like "heaven" backwards when I sound it out.
I hate that name, too, so I commend you for speaking up.
LOL @ the reply you got.. it's kinda scary to think that someone that inarticulate is raising a child. Poor little Nevaeh. LOL

Ugh. This is all bad. I have a former high school friend on fb (We are 34!) And EVERY ONE of her posts is written in "text" as I call it. It is SO ignorant! And she's not! She has 2 kids, is raising her sisters 2 since she passed away, works full time, goes to school...I really don't get it.
And agreed, Neveah sucks. But it does seem to go with that territory.
I would have clicked "Like" a hundred times to your comment.
WORST NAME EVER. Most people that use it are not college educated and HS educated is questionable.
Ugh.. they name makes me shiver and screams redneck and moron.

The grammar/spelling mistakes in this just made me shudder.
lol, I was thinking they must all be teen moms.
I don't understand why a word spelled backwards is supposed to be a good thing. Why not just spell it correctly and use Heaven? I don't like that as a name either, but spelling it backwards seems like it defeats the purpose, KWIM?
1. I agree with you. Nevaeh is a terrible name.
2. I don't blame someone for yelling at you for calling her baby's name terrible. I'd probably be pissed to, even though I'm someone who calls other baby's names terrible.
3. I'm shocked that she would suggest her OWN baby's name as a name for someone else's baby, especially since she thinks Nevaeh is so "unique."
4. Your FB friend is showing questionable taste by asking for name suggestions on FB.
Exactly. Why not just name the baby "Heaven"? (Not that I would actually recommend this, but it makes a lot more sense.)
Whenever I happen to catch a Maury "I don't know who my baby daddy is" episode, there is inevitably at least one baby named Nevaeh on there, so...enough said.
