Help[Opinions] Re: Nevaeh
in reply to a message by Perrine
I don't like the look of it, and since I've never met one or heard the name used, I don't know how to pronounce it (or how people pronounce it). Hard to comment, therefore; it does seem ephemeral.

I have a student aged 12 called Nevaeh. I honestly thought it would be Ne-VAY-a
She pronounces it Navar.

I think neh-VAY-a is the most common one, or neh-VAY.
I never heard of Navar :O

You mean, like Navarre? Spanish geography? Well, well. I know a man in his early 30s with no Spanish background at all whose given name is Navarre, and with a totally non-Spanish ln it seems odd. But Nevaeh = Navarre is odder!

Navarre
No lie, I've actually always thought Navarre would be a cool name, every since I heard it on Rutger Hauer's character in Ladyhawke (though IIRC, he's called Navarre because that's his family name / where he's from, not his Christian name).
