[Opinions] Nevaeh, Noa, Nyx
Which one, and why?
Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Noa, though I would probably just go for it and spell it Noah. It's not too much of a stretch with the recent trend of traditional boy names on girls, like James.
Nevaeh is awkward to say and spell.
Nyx sounds very goth-like.

I just would not call a child any of those.
If I had to live with one of them myself ...
Nix on Nyx. Unusable. I hate the idea someone addressed with what sounds like a rejection. As bad as naming someone Dye. Or Nyet. And it's stupidly gothy too.
Nevaeh is pretty sounding but gives a certain impression to a lot of people that I don't want to give.
Noa has a similar problem to Nyx, No - uh... haha. I would hate very much to be called Noa. Yet it also happens to sound like an ultra-well-known Bible man name. So it's kinda like naming a girl Adam. Bleagh.
So, Nevaeh it is. But once it is mine, I get to respell it, at least. Nevaea or Naveia. Haters will hate regardless, so at least I can have it look a little nicer to me.

Noa. I love the sound a d meaning. I wanted to use it for my daughter but didn't want to explain a million times that it is a girl's name.
Noa, I guess... it's the least objectionable of the three. Nyx is something a goth kid would rename themselves and Nevaeh is Pinterest personified. Even without the cloying heaven reversed thing, I find -eh/-ah endings weirdly off-putting in a way I can't quite describe - reminiscent of that uncomfortable mouth-breathing you do when you have a stuffy nose, I guess?

You're determined to make things difficult, aren't you?
Nevaeh. Drawback is people might think I'm a Christian. But I think it doesn't sound bad and is, in fact, rather pretty. Noa and Nyx are just awful. Noa sounds exactly like the boys' name Noah and I don't even like that. Nyx sounds just like the word "nix". I can certainly live with Nevaeh better than I could those two.

Well, I don't plan on making things easy , lol.
My one rule is that I can't include any classic names, or BtN "darlings" that would win, in a landslide. That would be boring.

Nevaeh, though I wouldn't be happy about it. Noa looks like a misspelled boys' name, and Nyx just make me think of nixing ideas and shaving nicks and Stevie Nicks.
What's wrong with Stevie Nicks? ;)
Nevaeh
Say what you will about it, but I think it has a very pretty sound.

Nevaeh: I really like the sound but I always have to think how to spell heaven when writing it because the "ae" trips me up. It's a fun, modern name.
Nyx: If you hadn't put Nevaeh, Nyx would probably be first. It's a short, simple name but also ancient. I could see it in a themed sibset with the likes of: Usagi, Serenity, Moon, Luna, Serena, Soleil, Estelle/a, Celeste, Terra, Eartha, or star or planet names. Or other god/dess names from myth.
Noa: too similar in sound with Noah and I knew a few Noahs in high school so I don't gravitate to it like the others. But its nice enough.

Usagi! Did you get that from sailor moon or did you just pull it out of the air. I was totally surprised to see it in your list. (I don't know Sailor Moon, it just seemed to jump out of nowhere)
From Sailor Moon
Which one do you choose?
