Maybe Cleveland could help us out.
People named Nevaeh are probably too young to be feel offended.
As for Eric's question, it is sbsolutely valid. The Oxford English Dictionary includes information on all its entries regarding the rist recorded use of a word. Nothing wrond with asking who coined the name and when.

Eric and such names were created using lingual elements. They were formed by putting meaningful words in Latin or in a foreign language together to have a specific meaning. Nevaeh is simply Heaven flipped backwards. No such origin exists. I think this is the main reason people have such a dislike of Nevaeh.

Right on.
Names are apart of language. They evolved from words or adjectives to denote a person and their traits. Names were not simply "made-up". Most names have changed and been in use over time. Neveah, on the other hand, was simply invented by a person trying to be "unique".

Please ...
don't be so rude as to say things like "put a sock in it." The name Nevaeh is a hot topic, and everyone's got an opinion .. and opinions are much easier to take, when delivered with some respect for the readers.
Ditto to the OP (Eric), who really need not put snarky quotes around the word name, since it is in fact a name in use. If you want to release your burden of emotions about the name Nevaeh, there is a Name Opinions Board on this site where you can do so in a forthright manner. You are encouraged to do so -- although we've heard it all from a zillion other folks already.
Please folks, no more opinions in this thread.
As to the original question, Baby Name Wizard author Laura Wattenberg has tried to answer it - here is her column on the subject:

- mirfak, fascinated by the strutting and screeching the name Nevaeh provokes in people, but a bit tired of it
