Oh, brother...

Just in time for the anagram-happy but ill-reviewed Da Vinci Code movie comes this revelation, courtesy the New York Times:

In 1999, there were only eight newborn American girls named Nevaeh. Last year, it was the 70th-most-popular name for baby girls, ahead of Sara, Vanessa and Amanda.

The spectacular rise of Nevaeh (commonly pronounced nah-VAY-uh) has little precedent, name experts say. They watched it break into the top 1,000 of girls' names in 2001 at No. 266, the third-highest debut ever. Four years later it cracked the top 100 with 4,457 newborn Nevaehs, having made the fastest climb among all names in more than a century, the entire period for which the Social Security Administration has such records.

Strange name, you say? Ethnic, perhaps? Maybe out of the Bible or classical mythology? Solve the mystery for yourself by trying it out at the link above... or just highlight the space between the two brackets below:

["Nevaeh" is nothing more than "Heaven" spelled backwards. Woo-hoo. Apparently some Christian rocker named his kid that back in '00, and everyone and her sister thought it was sooooooo very clever! Dan Brown, calling Dan Brown!]

Hope you're as inspired as I am. ;)
