Probably because most people who use Neveah don't realize it's haeven, not heaven.Elisabeth is the traditional spelling in many countries. Rachel is Hebrew and Hebrew names get translated by sound. Plus I dislike Rachael as well.

I strongly dislike Rachael, but then again my name is Rachel. I think Elizabeth and Elisabeth are fine.

Well then I suppose Neveah is the postmodern North American phonetical adaptation of "the original" Nevaeh.

Oh now you are being cheekyBut honestly, if we can have things like Ashlee and Caydence and Teighlor and Kamryn, then why not Neveah? I don't see how it's so silly at all, considering how the name was made up. If you have a backwards word name, why not a misspelled backwards word name?

Yeah, true if there are girls named Kayghtelynne and Emmaleigh, Ashlee or Caydence I guess you can have Neveah. It doesn't look as bad at first sight, actually. It makes more sense for the neh-VAY-ah pr. anyway. Neveah seems the more natural way to spell it. I know a Nevaeh and many people spell it Neveah when they hear it.I guess I would go for something different altogether, maybe Nívea or Neva or maybe Neriah. Apparently Neweh has something to do with a Hebrew word that means oasis but I have no idea whether that is true.I really like the way it sounds, though.
