It's one of those silly "new" names that is just "heaven" spelled backwards.

I've heard of this name too. Mind you working in L & D/Postpartum, I have heard way to many names that should be illegal. I'm sure chavamom & I could compile a list.

Hmmm...too bad....
It's not pronounced like the face cream "Nivea"...It's pronounced like the seminary name "NEVE" and then you add a "yah" at the end...
NEVE-yah
I know it's not...but it sounds like it could be a Jewish name!....Too bad it's not. I think it has a nice ring to it.
Oh..and can we Jews please reclaim the name "Isaiah" for boys....I love that name, but I feel like if I name my son that, he'll end up in a gang and then in jail.

Hear about this one?
| Quote: | WELLINGTON, New Zealand - A family court judge in New Zealand has had enough with parents giving their children bizarre names here, and did something about it.
ADVERTISEMENT
Just ask Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii. He had her renamed.
Judge Rob Murfitt made the 9-year-old girl a ward of the court so that her name could be changed, he said in a ruling made public Thursday. The girl was involved in a custody battle, he said.
The new name was not made public to protect the girl's privacy.
"The court is profoundly concerned about the very poor judgment which this child's parents have shown in choosing this name," he wrote. "It makes a fool of the child and sets her up with a social disability and handicap, unnecessarily."
The girl had been so embarrassed at the name that she had never told her closest friends what it was. She told people to call her "K" instead, the girl's lawyer, Colleen MacLeod, told the court.
In his ruling, Murfitt cited a list of the unfortunate names.
Registration officials blocked some names, including Fish and Chips, Yeah Detroit, Keenan Got Lucy and relations Fruit, he said. But others were allowed, including Number 16 Bus Shelter "and tragically, Violence," he said.
New Zealand law does not allow names that would cause offense to a reasonable person, among other conditions, said Brian Clarke, the registrar general of Births, Deaths and Marriages.
Clarke said officials usually talked to parents who proposed unusual names to convince them about the potential for embarrassment. |

2 sets of twins: lemonjello & orangejello (named after mom's labor cravings) & 2 poor, unfortunate girls: placenta & clitoris. also more obscene things that I would probably get kicked off the board for disclosing. and back to the more mundane: a little boy named seven. his mom thought it was a really neat name.

| A young Jewish mother in my neighborhood (who I was kind of mentoring and her family was frum, she not) had a baby last year and she named her Neveah. Of course her reasoning was that it is heaven spelled backward. She did give the baby a hebrew name also, but Neveah was her legal name. I tried to convince her to just go with a Hebrew name (maybe Shamayim ) but I couldn't convince her. She pronounced the way you descibed NE-VE'-YAH. Hard on the VE. You have to admit though it does sound like it could be a Jewish name.

Nah, those are urban legends. Urmajesty and Yohighness I witnessed personally. Also a stillbirth named "Deceitful Liar"

| You know what is funny? Everyone tells me they knew the "jello" twins personally - in Nashville, in St. Louis, in Pittsburg. Seriously! I have heard this in so many cities with so many "I heard it first hand!" that I can say either it is one of the most common names out there or it is an urban legend. We knew an elderly doctor who told us that the Nasmo King (No Smoking) and Femah-ley (female) stories have been around since at least the 50's when he was an intern. Click the link I posted and see.

I first read about nosmo king in one of the ramona books. I read it. the problem is that many of those names exist. unfortunately. okay- I haven't met a gonorrhea yet, but still.
