Help[Opinions] Re: Nevaeh [potentially upsetting post]
in reply to a message by Lily
Nevaeh seems to be a "cursed name" to me. Maybe it's just because it's so popular, but I feel like I hear about a lot of terrible things happening to Nevaehs.
warning: terrible things ahead.
Of the top of my head, I can think of:
Nevaeh Buchanan (kidnapped and buried alive, under cement)
Nevaeh Richardson (raped at 8 days old, which led to her death
Nevaeh Jade Abercrombie (car accient, 11 months old, her mom didn't strap her in properly)
Recently, 4 children died in a fire started by a candle and one of them was a 2-year-old Nevaeh.
and googling Nevaeh in the google news archives:
Nevaeh Wanzer, Nevaeh Rae Jones (one news article even points out that her name is "Heaven spelled backwards"), Nevaeh Alana Miller....
Also, it seems this name is given to a lot of stillborn babies (based on this search. The ones I listed actually had something happen to them, but there were a lot of newborn obituaries too. More than if I search any other name).
[I don't really remember how I got started on this, but about a year ago, I looked this up and had a giant list. I think it was because I googled Nevaeh Richardson and got a ton of other Nevaehs and just got intrigued at how such a "heavenly" name could have so many bad outcomes.]
And Nevaeh Buchanan and Nevaeh Richardson are usually my first thoughts with this name. Probably because they lived in this area and were on the news a lot.
...Um... yeah. I don't really care for it. The spelling is ugly to me. The sound is sort of ok, but I'd prefer Nineveh.
I think I once suggested spelling it Nevé (for Neh-vay), and then it does actually mean snow (it's a form of the Spanish Nevar). That's not too bad I guess, but there's still other names I'd rather see.
