WHAT are people thinking?

I started reading this blog about a couple adopting a child. ?Until I logged on tonight and saw they'd chosen the name Nevaeh, because, you know, it's heaven spelled backwards.

So done reading that blog. ?::shudder::?

Agreed! SO stupid. How do you even pronounce it? Ne-VAY-ah? Not only is it corny as hell, it doesn't even sound good.

kristen230

I totally agree. I am failing to see what is so great about this name? I think it sounds and looks like a train wreck!

GettinNervous

There's one at my daycare. It's just very 2009 typical. I don't think people realize their little cherubs are going to turn into adults.

I don't get it either...just call her Heaven! Much better choice and pronouncable!

HisKathy

absolutely agree!

I try to have an open mind, but this name rubs me the wrong way. I honestly hate it.

I remember a guy i went to high school with wanted to name his daughter this if he had one in the future. And yeah i think it;s bad too.

ILoveErich

Ugh, I have NEVER understood the draw to this name.

On the other hand, wouldn't it be cool if I had a bunch of kids with names like...

Htrae

Looc (short for Oilooc)

Ecarg

Epoh...

Nevaeh would fit right in!

It's pretty popular too - I think in the top 50.  I just don't understand it.

I think this name is beautiful! We did not pick it for our first name but it is our babies middle name. She is due in September and her name will be Briellah Neveah (Ne VAY). We love it!

I think it is aweful as well, but I've seen some names i would consider aweful around here as well.

Seriously? ?Good luck to your daughter. ?She's going to be spelling those names (and correcting misspellings) 85 times a day. ?

i really dont think it is that bad of a name. I think everyone hates it more so bc it is heaven spelled backwards. i read it as na-vay, na-vay-a (sounds like day) or na-vye-a (like mya) and too me that isnt as bad as a lot of other names i have seen.

personally if i were to actually use that name I would just spell it has it sounds (Navaya) but as is it really isnt the worst.

i hope the spelling of names/words backwards does not become the new trend.  so dumb.

I hope it doesnt either. I do have a friend who made his nickname his first name spelled backwards....Semaj...low and behold it is on the baby namer list...im hoping maybe it was already a name. Too bad bc i actually like that name too..lol

 Not only that, but the incorrect spelling of words backwards. "Heaven" backwards is Nevaeh, not Neveah. Learn to spell people, then learn to spell backwards. Nevaeh looks ugly and isn't easy to pronounce because it's - surprise! - not a word.

Another Nevaeh born yesterday where I work. And to another teenaged mother. Seems to be quite the popular name w/ the teen girls.

I noticed this trend too. Must be the new 'cool' thing. My 33 year old a$$ is so out of touch

 

PunkyBooster

It is a stupid name and actually on top 20-30 lists on SSA database. It's a gross name. Not even remotely pretty.

Harms80

I hate this name, too and totally associate it with teen moms who are trying to be cool.  Then, my rude, hormonal pregnant brain takes it one step further (cause now it's on the top 100 names list for 2008) and wonders:  what if my 4 year old son brings home a girlfriend some day named Nevaeh.  I'll probably look at her and think "oh, dear, your parents were one of those people who thought that name was a good idea.  how sad."  How judgmental is that?  I hope I'm not that mom....

If you look on the social security website, it breaks down the top names for each state.  It's breaking the top 100 in some states.  It's number 24 in Alaska.

I agree that it's awful, and I just don't get it. Heaven backwards? Last I checked, the reverse of Heaven is not a concept that I'd want to associate with my child :-)
