I knew a Liv once, she had Norwegian heritage. It's a name on its own there. I like Anne-Liv (AN-neh-leev) better, but I'm biased toward longer names. I like Ivy, and I like the idea of the plant, even though where I live it's an invasive weed.

And last of all an Admiral came,
A terrible man with a terrible name,—
A name which you all know by sight very well;
But which no one can speak, and no one can spell.
