I'm not living in Israel so it is unusual here. I mean almost every name is popular somewhere in the world. i thought Noa was number 1 in israel and Roni number 2 ? do you have a list ? just curious. and thanks for the information :)

I don't live in Israel either. I've just always considered Aviva to be a fairly common Hebrew name and I remember seeing somewhere that it was quite popular in Israel in the moment, but I don't have a chart unfortunately. I do remember hearing that Noa was number one.
Here's one article I found about the name popularities, although they don't mention Aviva. Maybe it's not topping charts at the moment like I thought. http://most-popular.net/israeli-baby-names
I'm sorry if my comment came off a bit rude. I live in a predominently Jewish area although I'm not Jewish myself and I freqently meet people with Hebrew names. So it just seems odd to me when people are surprised to see these names in use. America is home to a considerably large Jewish population. Maybe that's not the case where you live, but to me the thought that it would be "rediscovered" was just odd. Like worrying that the name Catalina would be rediscovered when it's simply a very common Spanish name. But I do recognize that these names can become very popular among people who aren't apart of that culture.
