Name for second child

I have been talking with DH about having a second child and already started considering names.  I started to think about the name Nivia and realized that was also a lotion, but I really like it and the lotion is ok too.  Thoughts?

    Definitely lotion. Spelled differently, but still the same.

    What about Neve, like actress Neve Campbell?

    Just so you know, Jergen is a popular name in the Netherlands. Jergen Klinsman is a famous soccer player.

    A friend of mine used Neva (I think they pronounce it nee-va)  I think it's cute & it works for them, but it's nms & doesn't go with our last name.

    Well... do you live in the US or Canada?  Nivea is a popular product here and an unpopular name.  I don't know if Jergen is a popular product in the Netherlands, but it is a popular name and pronounced differently.

    This.

    OP, you asked what people thought. What people will think of is the hand lotion. Whether or not it bothers you enough not to use it is a choice only you can make.

    I agree with the suggestion of Neve. Or I just saw Nyla on the UK's list...what about that?

    I think of the lotion. What about Nora? I also like the suggestion of Nyla.

    Sorry, I definitely think of the lotion. Is this even an actual name? I can't seem to find it on the more accurate name sites.

    I like the suggestion of Neve. Other similar(ish) sounding names: Ivy, Olivia, Olive, Nina, Eva, Geneva, Maeve, Veda

    My name isn't that uncommon and I still got crap about dish soap. Do not put your kid through lotion jokes.

    yeah...don't do that...

    Aside from the lotion, it sounds like it's riding the coattails of Nevaeh. No one want's that. NO ONE.

    I wouldn't use it because it's such a strong association.
