Oh now you are being cheeky

But 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.
