I think sometimes people are more likely to use a name like
Nevaeh if the child didn't survive. I see a lot more babies named things like '
Hope' or '
Faith' and so forth in children's cemeteries than I would expect to see in the general population. It makes sense that people often opt for a 'special' name.
Those news stories are very, very sad. I understand why you have such a negative association. :(
