Well, I prefer Zaviera to Haven
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!

Haven is as real as a name as Joy/Amber/Faith is.It's been used just as consistently, if not as often

I would say in the US, names ending with -i are typically girls names. Often names that usually ended in -y, like Tracy, might also be spelt Traci. My sister-in-law is Sandi.
