What are your honest opinions on [name_f]Nevaeh[/name_f]? Iāve noticed that itās a pretty controversial and hated name here on Nameberry and on other baby naming websites. Personally, I donāt really like it, and I think that itās a little kitschy and tacky, but I donāt hate it. What do you think?!

Yeah, I agree! It does sounds very tacky to me!
I think that you pronounce it Neh-VAY-[name_m]Ah[/name_m].
It doesnāt sound very heavenly 
I would love a name thatās an anagram of heaven but has a nice spelling that makes more sense to me!

I donāt like [name_f]Neveah[/name_f] because I know a horrible person with that name, but I actually think itās kind of cute.

It just looks and sounds off to me. Itās origins are also quite cheesy.

I think it is quite beautiful sounding, but itās a bit tacky in my opinion. I donāt hate the idea of [name_f]Heaven[/name_f] spelt backward, [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f] is an anagram as well, but people seem to really hate the spelling, I like it. But, as [name_f]English[/name_f] isnāt my native language it was hard to figure out how to pronounce it, but once I did, I loved it. I would never use it, but itās better than [name_f]Heaven[/name_f], [name_u]Angel[/name_u] and [name_u]Haven[/name_u].

Itās not my style but I would caution against others using it because of the hate and reputation it has.
I understand the appeal sound wise, and would never discourage a mother who loved it from using it as thereās really nothing āwrongā with it (other than pronunciation isnāt the most clear, but nevaeh definitely isnāt the only name in that category) itās just not my style
I like the sound but not the look of it.

So I have a strong dislike (almost hatred) for names like [name_u]Haven[/name_u], [name_f]Heaven[/name_f], or [name_f]Heavenly[/name_f]. I know we all want good things for our kids, but names like this, imo, amplify any mistakes or bad choices they make in their life.
I think [name_f]Nevaeh[/name_f] allows a parent to include āheavenā in the meaning of the name, while not putting this heavy weight on their kid.
I hate it. I always get the feeling people think it is cuter and more clever than it actually is.
Having said that, Iād support someone if they felt really strongly about using the name and I wouldnāt hold it against someone with the name. I just wouldnāt use it.
I still donāt have the faintest idea how to pronounce it. Iāve never met one and it looks to me like [name_u]Nev[/name_u]-a -ay?
I love [name_f]Geneva[/name_f] and [name_f]Neva[/name_f], but [name_f]Nevaeh[/name_f] is to me most unattractive. Writing things backwards also strikes me as odd.

I love [name_f]Nevaeh[/name_f] personally. I think itās sweet, and since [name_f]Heaven[/name_f] and [name_f]Heavenly[/name_f] are so often branded as cheesy/tacky, I feel like I should be able to have one option that isnāt [name_f]Celeste[/name_f]/Celine (dislike both) but shares the same meaning. 
I just feel very conflicted as I love [name_f]Nevaeh[/name_f], [name_f]Heaven[/name_f] and [name_f]Heavenly[/name_f] but feel almost forced on name sites to like, or say that I like [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] or [name_f]Celine[/name_f] more as theyāre more āacceptableā.
