Help[Opinions] Ack, the butterflies! Get 'em off!
in reply to a message by Luxiana
Sorry, sorry... This post just reminded me of that "Neveah means 'butterfly' in Slavic!" crap that gets bandied about the cra--er, less-scholarly naming boards.
Schmetterling would make a wonderful surname for a fictional character imo. But it should in no way be a given name imo, though as always it's slightly better in the middle name slot than the first. For one thing, if the kid ever went to a German-speaking country, the natives would probably laugh themselves sick over his/her "name".

lol!
your subject title made me laugh.
this database says Nevaeh is : the word heaven spelled backwards. thats odd. the comment box is full of equally odd statements.
I don't think I'd ever use it for a real person, but I am quite fond of it for some reason.
anyway, thanks for the feedback and the laugh.

I said Neveah, not Nevaeh
There be a difference between them, according to the strange creatures we affectionately call tryndees. Nevaeh is indeed "Heaven" spelled backwards; Neveah ("Haeven" spelled backwards) supposedly has the aforementioned "butterfly" meaning.
To "confirm" the above, just check such sites as Babynames.com or Babynamesworld.com.

ah...dyslexia kicks in around nap time
I misread or mis-typed. oops.
I've never encountered those who preach "Neveah means butterfly" but I don't doubt their existence.
