Actually, I prefer Zoia--and it's a name I love, but only spelled Zoia.

I adore Zoya! It was on my long list, but I've got so many female names and so few male ones, that it got pushed down a bit. Here I'd have to use the spelling Zoja, but in an English-speaking country I'd use Zoya.

Iva is ok, but it was very popular in my generation so I'm a bit tired of it.

I really like both Zoya and Zoja, though I prefer the former. I'm also fond of Iva.

Love it! Zoya is awesome! I like the look of Zoja, but where I live people would probably pronounce it either zo-jah or zo-ha.

i like Iva as well, as long as your last name isn't a noun! Iva Carr, Iva Gardner, yeah, too many joke opportunities.

I like it. I prefer Zoya.

Last month my husband's cousin was expecting a baby and I dreamt she had a daughter called Zoya or Zoia. (In the event she had a little girl called Frieda.)

I like it, but it reminds me too much the Goya products...
