I would pronounce it nah-vah as well. It’s not spelled Naiva.
All you (and your child) basically have to do is say [name_f]Nava[/name_f] when introduced to her.
Since I’m unfamiliar with the name, I’d read it as Nay-vah since it looks like [name_f]Ava[/name_f] with an N. But it’d be easy to correct like the previous poster said.
Something else: Nah-vuh.
