HelpRe: Elvia
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
My paternal grandmother's name was Elva. I loved her dearly.
Yet I was always put off by her name - not that I thought it was particularly unattractive (at least compared to maternal grandmother, Mavis) but because I was always acutely aware that Elva was her name and that Alva was occasionally given as a male name. (Growing up just a few miles from Thomas Alva Edison's birthplace will do that to a guy, I guess.)
Anyway, with that in mind, I rather like Elvia. I like the way it reminds me of my grandmother, but with a bit more of a feminine twist to.
As far as middle names go, I rather like some of the combinations you offered - Elvia Susanna and Elvia Rosalind in particular.
