Wedding Woes

From the local:

I always thought that Nevaeh was pronounced "nuh-vay-uh" but apparently it's pronounced "nuh-vey". I met my first Nevaeh in real life today and was schooled on the pronunciation

Funny, I thought it was pronounced, "Your name is stupid and your parents hate you. I'll pronounce any way I damn well please. Now shut up and take it, because that's what you'll be doing the rest of your life."

    The good news, the only thing the school will have to teach her is, "Would you like fries with that?"

    I can't tell you how many times I've had to hold my tongue when someone "oohs and ahhs" over that name as if they've never heard it before.  :-/

    Ha.  I thought it was 3 syllables too though.

    Yeah, me too.  If it were my name, I'd tell people it's pronounced "Nancy."

    I knew a girl named Ma-REE-sa, but it was actually spelled Mariessa.  I thought they just spelled Marissa wrong.

    Baconsmom, you're up early today.

    I hate the name Neveah.

    I met a grown up woman at a wedding named Courteney. Core-ten-A. That's how she claimed it was pronounced.

    School starts next Monday. We have to adjust ourselves. I'm not pleased.
