As this name has risen in popularity, I've noticed some differences in suggested pronunciation by various people who chose this name for their children.
Since it is a relatively new, made up name, there is no set way to pronounce it yet. Most often, I have heard neh-'VAY-uh, but recently, there has been a growing trend to try and emphasize it's similarity to "Neve", and I have become aware of such cases in which it is pronounced 'NEE-vay, or nee-'VAY.

The most common way by far seems to be "nuh-VAY-uh", though there are examples of parents who have chosen other ways to say it, such as "nuh-VAY" or "Nevva".

Nivea..
They also sell Nivea in the USA, and I have a few examples of American girls named Nivea over the last 20 years in my records.
