Nevaeh

Nevaeh is a modern feminine name created by writing the word heaven backwards.

History and meaning

The name Nevaeh is the word "Heaven" spelled backwards. An erroneous belief is that the name has an Irish origin, a variation of the name Niamh, which is still common in Ireland today; however, Nevaeh is recently coined and American.

Pronunciation and spelling

There are numerous pronunciations used for this name but the two most popular pronunciations for this name are /nəˈveɪ.ə/ nə-VAY-ə and /nəˈveɪ/ nə-VAY. A common Australian pronunciation is /nəˈvaɪ.ə/ nə-VY-ə. Because of pronunciation difficulties it is often respelled as Neveah, switching the ‹e› and ‹a› (as the one of Neveah Gallegos and possibly Nevea Tears). Other spelling variations such as Naveah have been used.

Popularity

Though there were eight girls named Nevaeh in the United States in 1999, Nevaeh was an extremely rare given name before singer Sonny Sandoval of the rock group P.O.D. named his daughter Nevaeh in 2000. He was then featured in the fall of that year on the television program MTV Cribs, and use of the name became widespread.

In 2006, Vocke (as Nevaeh) wrestled regularly for the Heartland Wrestling Association, facing wrestlers including Hellena Heavenly and Heather Owens. She also made several appearances for Mad-Pro Wrestling, where she managed Matt Stryker. On June 3, 2007, she debuted for Cleveland All-Pro Wrestling, losing to Jessicka Havok, and three months later returned to team with her real-life husband Jake Crist to defeat Lexi Lane and Robbie Starr.

Nevaeh (album)

Nevaeh is the debut full-length album by Design the Skyline. It was released on August 16, 2011 through Victory Records.

Background

The band had ideas to start work on a debut album after changing their name from Extra Large Kids to Design the Skyline. Initially the members set plans to release a full-length titled, Synthetic Cities which even had its own artwork completed along with many of its songs recorded and planned but were never fully finished or mastered. The project was abandoned. The reason for this was due to the band aspiring to pursue a completely different and more "mature" sound than what they had originally interpreted after their signing to Victory in May.

Nevaeh was then written and recorded by the course of May through July 2011. The album spawned two singles; "Break Free from Your Life" and "Cybernetic Strawflower" before its release.

Sound and musical structure

The band has cited The Doors and Led Zeppelin as some of the influences for the album's musical structure.
