it should be ne-VAY
I think the only correct pronunciation of Nevaeh is ne-VAY. I mean the word "heaven" has two syllables so Nevaeh should be pronounced with two syllables as well. The "Ne" part is pronounced neh, the "ae" is pronounced as ay and the "h" is silent, well not silent but it just makes the "ay" sound longer. So ne-VAY or neh-VAY are the only pronunciations that make sense.
You could also pronounce it with three syllables but I still don't get how you would end up with the most common nuh-VAY-ah pronunciation. "Ne" again makes the neh sound then there's the "v" and then the "aeh" which make an ay sound but you could split it up so that the "a" makes an ah sound and the "eh" an "eh" or "ay" sound. So neh-VAH-eh would make sense but not nuh-VAY-ah.
hmmmm yeah I thought about this name a lot recently :P it just really bothers me and even know so people who say NEE-vy and NAY-vy.
