Reply to:	Just talked to the NY Times about... by Mike C

It amuses me ... but then, I've never (or nevaeh, depending on how posh one is) met one; no doubt it will surface in darkest Africa, but so far we've been lucky.

What amuses me is the way the same kind of seriously fundamentalist evangelical people who get so exercised about hidden messages of evil accessed by playing rock songs backwards are the very ones to use Nevaeh. But, there's nothing in the rules to say that people have to be consistent in their beliefs and behaviours.

I'd see it, if challenged, as the same kind of "name" as Eden and Avalon: the sense of wanting a better place somewhere else, and then pinning that expectation on a child. Bleak.

By the way, who or which or why or what is Cribs? I'm feeling foreign this morning!
