I just recently heard this name and I think it is absolutely beautiful, but it sounds kind of native american so I don't think we would ever use it, but I thought I would throw it out there to all of you, maybe one of you will like it.

Nevaeh (pronounced Na-Vay-a...if you noticed, it Heaven backwards)

I just thought it was cute!

I've heard this before, but it reminds me of Nivea lotion... Take care of your birthday suit! (that was the old commercial jingle for Nivea)

How can a name seem Native American if it is purposely spelling HEAVEN backwards? It sounds a little racist to say that you wouldn't use it *because* it sounds like its Native American, even though you admit that it is cute. That may offend some that take pride in that heritage and language.
