~Heaven spelled backwards~
I think everyone I know that is not exactly up to par has named their child that.
As If naming you child Heaven isnt ghetto enough, LETS SPELL IT BACKWARDS!!!!
Does anyone else feel the same way???

Apparently the hottest new Christian name is "Nevaeh" -- "heaven" spelled backwards. It traces it genealogy to a single cultural big bang: In 2000, Sonny Sandoval, the singer for the Christian-rock unit P.O.D., appeared on MTV and introduced his baby daughter Nevaeh. He explained the provenance -- "Heaven spelled backwards" -- and apparently the country was totally smitten.

I agree with you, with an exception!
A woman I know that had a very premature child with incredible medical conditions. She named her Nevaeh because she knew that her daughter was not expected to make it more than a week. She considered her daughter to be "going to Heaven the backwards way." I thought this was a very special way to use the name Nevaeh!

Yep, leamspaulding has it right.
I agree w/ most of the other posters, it's a bad, overused, made-up name that makes me think of moisturizing products. Although I do admit I get some twisted joy out of seeing people say, "My daughter's name is Neveah, it's "heaven" spelled backwards." Yes, it is. If you're dyslexic!

Well i wouldn't say that heaven is a ghetto name and secondly i do not like either name for a child whether it is spelled backwards or frontwards

At a glance it looked like my lotion Nivea. Its your child no matter what anyone says if you feel like naming your baby Nevaeh and will use it for years to come then I say go for it I chose my daughters name out of an Egyptian Mythology Book

Nevaeh is a sucky name, but it's not ghetto. It's pure, 100% trailer trash.

i agree. it is over-used. my cousin just had a baby girl in may and she named her nevaeh skye. i had never heard of the name at that time and thought it was strange, but now - in the last 9 months - i hear it everywhere !!

I agree. Why would anyone want to name their child the reverse of heaven?

Oh I never thought of that being Heaven backwards.
I like Nivea - but wouldn't name any of my kids that.

i agree, i think it is silly and cruel to give a child a weird spelled name..it makes life hard on them ...does Heaven spelled backwards mean the opposite.... hell?
just my opinion
