Re: Ziv
in reply to a message by Janan
I'd prefer Ziva. Ziv does seem more masculine and rather short. It would be better as a nickname, I think.
Maris is growing on me but I'd only want it pronounced MAH-ris/MAR-is not MAIR-is. I don't know which would be the posted common in the UK though I'm guessing the latter as Paris is PAH-ris, Harris is HAH-ris etc. OT slightly but I have the same problem with Maren - I want MAH-ren not MAIR-in. Maris is good though if it's pronounced the way I want ;)
