Nevaeh, Noa, Nyx
Which one, and why? Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I apologise in advance, but I'm going with Nevaeh! *Ducks down to avoid sharp flying objects!!* I actually think the name sounds quite nice, always have. Noa I'm just not a fan of and Nyx just sounds silly to me.

We adopted a mother-daughter pair of cats and named them Nyx and Nemesis.I guess I'd use Nyx if I really had to use one of these.

Noa, though I would probably just go for it and spell it Noah. It's not too much of a stretch with the recent trend of traditional boy names on girls, like James.Nevaeh is awkward to say and spell.Nyx sounds very goth-like.

I pick Nyx, then Noa. Nyx is fun and spunky. Noa is pretty and flutey, but kind of too mainstream fashionable for me. Neveah, uh, I don't like it or anything about it.

The first and third choices are not really my style at all, plus the sound of Nevaeh sounds like a kind of a word used to shoo something off, so Noa it is for me.

I choose Nevaeh. I like the sound. The only reason I'm choosing it, though, is that the choices are so limited.Noa should stay in male territory and be spelled Noah.Nyx is NMS at all.

I just would not call a child any of those.If I had to live with one of them myself ...
Nix on Nyx. Unusable. I hate the idea someone addressed with what sounds like a rejection. As bad as naming someone Dye. Or Nyet. And it's stupidly gothy too.
Nevaeh is pretty sounding but gives a certain impression to a lot of people that I don't want to give.
Noa has a similar problem to Nyx, No - uh... haha. I would hate very much to be called Noa. Yet it also happens to sound like an ultra-well-known Bible man name. So it's kinda like naming a girl Adam. Bleagh.So, Nevaeh it is. But once it is mine, I get to respell it, at least. Nevaea or Naveia. Haters will hate regardless, so at least I can have it look a little nicer to me.

Nevaeh would be horrifyingly embarrassing. Nyx is tempting, but it sounds so much a corny comic book villain. so Noa, since you can take it seriously, and i like the boys' name Noah. Buuut it comes off a lot like the whole "if it ends in -a it's TOO DELICATE for a boy!!" idea that i'm so sick of.

Noa. I love the sound a d meaning. I wanted to use it for my daughter but didn't want to explain a million times that it is a girl's name.

Noa, I guess... it's the least objectionable of the three. Nyx is something a goth kid would rename themselves and Nevaeh is Pinterest personified. Even without the cloying heaven reversed thing, I find -eh/-ah endings weirdly off-putting in a way I can't quite describe - reminiscent of that uncomfortable mouth-breathing you do when you have a stuffy nose, I guess?

Noa, I like the sound but its a bit too trendy, I prefer the Japanese association. Nyx is an interesting name but I would only use it on a character, not a real person. Nevaeh looks and sounds clunky and awful, I don't understand the appeal.

Hi Billina !!!Nevaeh 3/10 Heaven is much better. Noa 'motion' 7/10 it is ok but not my style.Noa 'of love' 4/10 I much prefer the simplicity of Aiko.Nyx* 8/10 I like mythological names!
I prefer Nix (snow in Latin) though.

You're determined to make things difficult, aren't you?Nevaeh. Drawback is people might think I'm a Christian. But I think it doesn't sound bad and is, in fact, rather pretty. Noa and Nyx are just awful. Noa sounds exactly like the boys' name Noah and I don't even like that. Nyx sounds just like the word "nix". I can certainly live with Nevaeh better than I could those two.

You're determined to make things difficult, aren't you? Well, I don't plan on making things easy , lol.My one rule is that I can't include any classic names, or BtN "darlings" that would win, in a landslide. That would be boring.

Reluctantly, in fact only at gunpoint: Noa. Why? Nyx sounds like a child refusing a dare - nix! - and for people who enjoy spelling names backwards, I recommend Anna and Otto.

Nevaeh, though I wouldn't be happy about it. Noa looks like a misspelled boys' name, and Nyx just make me think of nixing ideas and shaving nicks and Stevie Nicks.

What's wrong with Stevie Nicks? ;)

Noa without a doubt. I really dislike the awkwardness of Neveaeh. Nyx is a GP only, 'niks' (pron. exactly like Nyx), means 'nothing' in Dutch and is highly unsuitable as a name to me because of that, except for maybe a pet. Noa is an old fav of mine. It's overused now, but I still love it.

NevaehSay what you will about it, but I think it has a very pretty sound.

Nevaeh: I really like the sound but I always have to think how to spell heaven when writing it because the "ae" trips me up. It's a fun, modern name.Nyx: If you hadn't put Nevaeh, Nyx would probably be first. It's a short, simple name but also ancient. I could see it in a themed sibset with the likes of: Usagi, Serenity, Moon, Luna, Serena, Soleil, Estelle/a, Celeste, Terra, Eartha, or star or planet names. Or other god/dess names from myth.Noa: too similar in sound with Noah and I knew a few Noahs in high school so I don't gravitate to it like the others. But its nice enough.

Usagi! Did you get that from sailor moon or did you just pull it out of the air. I was totally surprised to see it in your list. (I don't know Sailor Moon, it just seemed to jump out of nowhere)
