I pron. Neve like Eve with a 'N' in front of it. Neva the same but with an (uh) sound at the end. I like Neve as a MN. Neva is okay....

Neve pronounced like Nev would definitely work, as this is how the actress Neve Campbell pronounces her name, but this is in North America. However, I believe that the "correct" pronounciation is Neve like Eve, but like all things that is disputed and, more importantly :), I prefer the Nev pronounciation! If you go with that pronounciation I think its lovely, if not I'd prefer Eve.

I used to like Neve, but now I don't care for it, along with Neva. But, if I had to choose, then Neve. I don't care for Hadar, but since it's a family name, that'll be used as the middle name, then it's OK. Neve Hadar flows.

Neve looks like "NEEV" to me (Like Niamh) but I could also see it as "NEH-veh." Saying "NEHV" is a bit strange to me but I could be taught to prn it that way. The name reminds me of Neve Campbell.Neva looks like "NEE-va" to me, although I agree, "NEH-va" wouldn't be bad.I like Neva prn "NEE-va" best, with Hadar too. - chazda

I think Neva Hadar sounds better together but I prefer the name Neve with the pronunciation Nev. I don't like Neva pn. Nehva because it sounds like Never to me.
