two names

What are your thoughts on Neleh and Nevaeh? They're Helen and Heaven backwards.

Dumb.

[identity profile] sarahrose.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Neleh is okay. It makes me think of Survivor though - one of the second place winners from years ago. It's the first and only association I have what that name.

I don't like Nevaeh.

I actually really like Nevaeh. I don't specifically like how it looks, but I like the way it rolls off my tongue, lol.

Nevaiuh is a really ugly spelling, and so are Nevayuh... does anyone know how it could be spelled so it looks prettier? LOL.

[identity profile] sarahrose.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Nevaieh conveys it a little better, but I still think that's weird. I can't come up with anything that doesn't include the ugly -uh! Damn.

Nivea. Navaia. I don't know.

[identity profile] tinylittlestars.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, Ni- isn't the right sound... and Nivea is a mosituriser brand, lol!

Navaia is getting there, but I'd be tempted to prounce that na-v-eye-a

Absolutely awful and completely trendy. Ugh. I HATE Nevaeh. Neleh isn't QUITE as bad, but, still...eww.

[identity profile] hitzpink.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Horrible names. Nevaeh has been discussed before, and Neleh? WTF? Awful.

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_x_blackroses_x/ 2006-07-07 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry; no offense but I think they're completely horrible.

[identity profile] tigress-oils.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Might I suggest that those names go to Lleh?

[identity profile] p-inkjeans.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Hahahahahaha, you totally win at life.

[identity profile] tigress-oils.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
oh, i wasn't trying to be ugly, really. "Lleh" is in the userinfo at [livejournal.com profile] namingnames and it cracked me up the first time i saw it.

[identity profile] p-inkjeans.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
haha, i know, that's why it made me laugh so much.

[identity profile] pale-september.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Neleh? I don't like it. I'm not big on Neveah at all, it sounds like a name a stripper would have. :(

[identity profile] lostrocket.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
I could maybe go with Nele, I think it is an actual name (if not with English language roots).

I despise Nevaeh. It sounds pretty but I guess I hate it on principle. I just don't like what it says to me about the person who would use such a name.

[identity profile] ladyartemisa.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
oh god not again.

those names are bad.

just bad.

[identity profile] p-inkjeans.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Hahahaha, your icon is so appropriate for this.

[identity profile] ladyartemisa.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
thanks, i figured it would be. :p

[identity profile] trissyd.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Nevaeh isn't even a name... it's awful.

[identity profile] monalyssasmile.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Nevaeh was clever when ONE baby had it, but now it's just pathetic.

[identity profile] julieannie.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
No. I hope this isn't something you are considering. People on Maury use those names.

[identity profile] mrsduryee.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
bad and awful. Nevaeh is the worst name on the planet.

[identity profile] sayga.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
i agree with everyone that puked at the sound of Neveah.

Neleh isn't AS bad because it doesn't spell a stupid name. I mean, Helen is fine. It's like naming a kid Suoicerp (precious backwards). Because Precious is a ridiculous name, just like Heaven.

[identity profile] holly-megan.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Why does Helen have to be spelt backwards? Is there such a shortage on names that proper names have to be spelt backwards to name a child?

I just don't get the trend...

[identity profile] elemmennope.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not amused by these.

[identity profile] maude.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
Okay! I can be Nire, and you can be Anitsirhc Yma!

[identity profile] neroli.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
There's a Peruvian singer called Yma Sumac. There was a story going around that her birth name was actually Amy Camus and they'd switched it around to make it look more "exotic". (Apparently that was just a hoax.)

[identity profile] meadowrue.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Tacky.

[identity profile] howdroll.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 05:54 am (UTC)(link)

Are there any name communities out there that do like this name? Most people who "study" names as a hobby just know of much better options than resorting to spelling words backwards.

[identity profile] nymphaeales.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Dehcterw. That's wretched spelled backwards.
