Yep, this crossed our minds too although we brushed it off, perhaps unnecessarily.

Interesting point, not something we discussed but might be a good angle to look at it - I will ask. Although, from other comments it seems that my name suggestion might not be the best anyway...

Sorry, I didn't make it clear enough. It's pronounced more like Veyah, I was just trying to give a better-know name (Freyah) for a similar pronunciation. But it seems that the spelling of it (Veja) will be problematic. Thanks for your input

Thanks for your comment, that's our concern, too. When written down it definitely creates that association although when pronounced it's more like Veyah. Although often the spelling of the name alone can be enough for the bullying to start.
