Well, I prefer Zaviera to Haven
in reply to a message by lillybud
At least Zaviera (I prefer Xaviera) looks like a real name to me. But Haven is probably more common and therefore safer.
What is so bad about Zaviera?
I don't get this male/female thing about Andy/Andi, since they both sound the same. But I agree that Andrew, nn Andy, would have been better. Andrew is still all male, I think, so no gender confusion.
Why do you think your own son's name is horrible? Did you not have any say in his naming? Or did you (like your friend) change taste afterwards? I am curious what this "horrible" name is.
Maybe give a daughter the name May or Maya since she will be a May baby! But maybe it is a boy?
Congratulations!
