[Opinions] Neva.
I knew someone named this during elementary school, and I've always liked it. It's a very American name to me, sweet and a little bit different. WDYT? See: Neva

Gorgeous.Very intriguing and pretty. I pronounce it NÉH-vah (or NAY-vah) to make it sound less like the word 'never'.For MNS I would go for:Neva Élodie
Neva Eustacie / Eustacia
Neva Lynette
Neva Marisolor something like that. I'm having a major name brain-fart today, excuse the lack of names. Sieglinde

My mom has worked with an African-American woman named Neva for about 15 years, and I know her well, too. But she's kind of ditzy and not terribly responsible, so I kind of have a negative assocation with it because of her. :-/ Also, it reminds me of a nevus (mole). :bETA: Hey, Neva is Haven spelled backwards without the "h". :b Kind of cool connection, I think. :)

Very pretty! Short and sweet, and more feminine than Nova (which is nice but strikes me as a bit...much, I suppose, in some way).Neva Lily's always an option. ;)Array

I love it, although it's more of a Russian name, to me. The river running through St. Petersburg is the Neva. It's pronounced "nyeh-VAH" in Russian, although in English it's "NEE-va." Both are very pretty.

Thanks.I haven't really heard it outside the US. I think I like nyeh-VAH quite a bit more. I'll have to find a middle name for it.

I've never heard of it before but it's really pretty. Definitely sweet and pretty unusual.
