HelpRe: Divinia
in reply to a message by tilltheend
I'm familiar with Davina, a feminine form of David.
But Divinia is new to me. It hits me in the face with religion so I'm not liking it at the moment. There are other names like that, Concepcion, Immaculata, Salvatrice, etc., that I do like. So I'm not closing the door on Divinia.
But with Immaculata and the rest I have a sense that they are poking fun at themselves. There's an air of whimsy about them. With Divinia I get the opposite feeling: as if some uptight religious parent is imposing holy H*ll in Earth on the child. It makes me shiver, to be honest. But in an effort to be even-handed I'll try to mull it over and get back to you if I make any progress.
