NI-VAY-UH.
Perhaps like everyone's favorite hand cream?
Na-Vay-ah
As this name has risen in popularity, I've noticed some differences in suggested pronunciation by various people who chose this name for their children.
Since it is a relatively new, made up name, there is no set way to pronounce it yet. Most often, I have heard neh-'VAY-uh, but recently, there has been a growing trend to try and emphasize it's similarity to "Neve", and I have become aware of such cases in which it is pronounced 'NEE-vay, or nee-'VAY.

The most common way by far seems to be "nuh-VAY-uh", though there are examples of parents who have chosen other ways to say it, such as "nuh-VAY" or "Nevva".
mmh, okay, thx a lot.

Nivea..
They also sell Nivea in the USA, and I have a few examples of American girls named Nivea over the last 20 years in my records.

and ...
Nivea is pronounced NIV-ee-uh in the US (according to their advertising in the US), which I don't think is very close to Nevaeh (nuh-VAY-uh, nuh-VAY, or NEV-uh) at all.
