Okay so my cousin is having a baby and she was totally planning on naming her Savannah Gabriella. Which I know, I know.. Its very popular but I was like whatever its not THAT bad, ill just call her Hannah and that will be cute.

So today she told me that she changed her mind and now she is going to name her.. But before I tell you the name, let me remind you that I live in a small town in RI where the "trendy/creative" name trend hasnt really been a problem with newborns.

But apparently it has because she is now going to name her.. Nevaeh Grace.

Omg. Shoot me now. How do I tell her nicely how bad her child's name is going to be. She was telling me how beautiful it is and she saw it online and never heard of it before.

How this abomination of a made-up name jumped out of nowhere and it's really not as unique as she thinks.
Heaven spelt backwards? Most people would call that the epitome of trash.
The Nevaeh trend is such that when she's older people will be able to date her just by her age, it will got really old really fast.

Plus Grace is such a filler middle name, it's the most used middle name around right now. It's the Lynn of the 70's and Marie of the 80's.

I hope she gives her daughter a real name!

*uh, date her just by her name, even. Also her age, but that should have gone without saying!

Louise of the 90's too! Totally agree with your comments on the name though.

Yes yes, I agree with you on the Louise.

And Grace and Rose of the 90s. And Anne of the 50s/60s.

I'd say Grace was more a now thing.
