that's a daft thing to pay out for....does anyone know how to pronunciate "Nevaeh"? Just wondering.
In Portugal names are limited, there are all sorts of rules. You can't just name kids whatever you want. In Brasil however, it really is a case of whatever you like. That's why you get kids there called Michael Jackson George Washington (all in one name!!) and another I heard of really got me laughing:
One Brasilian man named his daughter Madeinusa. (Read Mad -ey-noo-ssa).
He had a radio at home that had MADE IN USA written on it and he liked the sound of it and thought it was posh so he named his child Madeinusa. Get it?
I think rules are good sometimes.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
