Re: how do you pronounce Nevaeh?? n/t

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".

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.
