    Good Name?
    Ok guys I really want some help. Does "Nevaeh Faith Carreira" sound like a good name and it’s put together well?

    Nevaeh sounds like a name that will be teased, calling her 'Nevah' as in 'never.'
    Faith is a good name.

    It almost sounds and looks like "Never Faith." People will have trouble pronouncing the first name and will constantly misspell it. I'm guessing a child with that name will get picked on by other kids.

    It depends on how the names fit together with the last name, their rhythm, their spelling, how they are pronounced, what the initials spell out (my brother's initials spelled out RAG, so he was always teased about that).

    I have a fairly common name, but when I was a child, it wasn't that common. I was the only one with that name in my entire school, even though my name has been around for 100's of years.

    When I was around 10 the big thing was key chains with your name on it. There was a store in the mall that sold named key chains, mugs, shirts, anything you could think of. My name was never included. My mom actually went and bought a shirt and had my name put on it, just so that I could have something with my name on it.

    Everyone wants their child to have a unique name, but for the child, it's really hard when it's never spelled right, pronounced right, and you can't even get a keychain with your name on it, all because your parents want you to have an original name. Original isn't always good, not when you're the one stuck with it.

    I have a very common name, and most people still pronounce it wrong. The name you posted is not a name that's known, will be mispronounced all the time, and will lead to teasing.

    Stick with something that won't make your child change names when he/she is older.

    I have a student named Nevaeh. I have to admit I had no clue how to pronounce it. I asked a few friends to help me since I wanted to say it correctly. My friend said, it's "heaven" backwards. I really like it. I had a very popular name growing up and named my boys unique names

    Personally I don't like it. It doesn't flow off the tongue.
