Re: Nyah
Hey Monique,Sorry, but this is the 3rd enquiry about "Nyah" from someone in as many months, and so far no one's been able to come up with anything constructive re this name's origin.Just curious -- how'd you come to give your daughter this name if you didn't know its meaning? Or did she come already name-equipped, like a Cabbage Patch Kid? You'll understand I had to ask...

...maybe it was a case of onomatopoeia. Nephele's "I'm hungry" or "I want to chew on your modem" signals sound remarkably like "nyah".
