What do you think about this baby girl name?

The name in question is Nevaeh.

My niece is pregnant, and this is what she's currently planning on using if the baby is a girl. She says, it's heaven, spelled backwards. I personally think it's a terrible choice, but perhaps I'm the odd man out. A friend said, "Heaven backwards is Hell."

Your thoughts?

Update:

Oh, and for the record, my niece has a name that has been mispronounced all her life, so she knows what a pain it is.

Update 2:

Actually, she says she wants to pronounce it "Ne-vay".

Update 3:

For what it's worth, don't anybody feel bad about saying this is a trashy name...I completely agree, and that's why I asked.

Halo Mom, thanks for the excellent alternative suggestions!

    Nevaeh is terrible! It's trashy, ugly and sounds like someone from a trailor park.

    Please, for the sake of your niece and her (poor) daughter, talk her out of it!

    If someone wants to damn the girl with the annoying feeling you get when no one knows how to pronounce your name for the rest of her life, it's a good name.

    There is a reason why heaven wasn't spelled backwards; because then no one would like it.

    I never know two people that said Nevaeh the same way

    The only way you can tell, is that they say it's heaven spelled backwards

    I think Nevaeh is trashy and low class

    I am sure your niece is not, but that what I think, sorry

    I would rather something like

    Celeste means heavenly, divine

    Aracela/Aracelle -altar of heaven

    Celia -heaven, blind

    I think they are much prettier names then Nevaeh

    This is the absolute stupidest trendy name in the past decade, and that's saying a lot with all the stupid trendy names out there.

    This has already been relegated to the trailer trash contingent. Do anything it takes to prevent this innocent baby from this horrible name. Let the mother know that every time she tells someone the baby's name, that person is going to think the mother is a loser.

    Absolutely terrible name, no idea what she is thinking, but anyone with any sense would hate that name too, its like your just begging the kid to be teased in school.

  • The kid will not like the name, i promise. please for the sake of the child, dont let her do it :) why does everyone choose strange names, pick a simple, yet unique name and move on.

  • I think it is a pretty name but, I would personally not name my child that.

    I really don't care about the meaning of the name, the meaning of the name Olivia is army of the elves.....

    It is pronounced Neh-vay-uh.
