I don't really like Nevis pronounced (nee-vis). (neh-vis) is better to me. and I really like the sound of (neh-vee). I guess spelled Nevi.
to answer your question Nevis could be a variation on
Nieves.
I prefer
Nieve or
Neve. I like
Neve (neev) the most of those two though I can see how that would also be difficult to pronounce.
some other names with similar sounds and maybe easier pronunciations :
NevaNavaNovaNevsa
Novella
Natavia
Nevya
Nevia
similar meaning (snow):
Bora (2)
Eira Eirwen Gwyneira Haukea Neus NevadaSnjezana Tuyet Xue Yukiko
hope that helps :]
