Talk about the ultimate in trendiness: Nevaeh came out of nowhere to jump into the top name lists in 2001, and it has soared all the way to 43, far ahead of more conventional names like Rebecca and Isabelle. Created by a Christian metal/rock singer for his daughter, Nevaeh -- Heaven spelled backwards -- has caught fire like no other made-up name in recent history. The choice is yours: Hop aboard or wait till the fad blows over.
