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.

Is she and Evangelical Christian? Because, if not, I would strongly recommend against that name. I'd just tell her that people are going to assume she is based on that name, and unless she wants to give that impression, she should choose another name.

BTW, the NYT ran an article on that name a year or a few years ago. You could look it up in the archives. It *does* sound pretty, and it has a lot of the characteristics of classical names, which they think is part of its rapid rise in popularity. But, srsly, I hope she does not choose that!
