Re: Aviva
in reply to a message by slbond
Aviva's very pretty, very femme, and very lively to me. Actually, Aviva sounds a little too lively for my usual tastes, to tell you the truth.
As a fn, I think Aviva pairs best with dated and more "serious" mns:
Aviva Joan
Aviva Charlotte
Aviva Anne / Ann
Aviva Jane
Aviva Mary
Aviva Hedwig (preferably pr. HED-wig in this case)
Aviva Carole / Carol
Aviva June
Aviva Dorothy
Aviva Gertrude
Aviva Helen
Aviva Ellen
Aviva Ruth
Aviva Mildred
Aviva Gladys
Aviva Mabel
Aviva Hazel
Aviva Pearl
Aviva Myrtle
Aviva Constance
Aviva Ruby
Aviva Agnes
Aviva Lucille
Aviva Christine
Aviva Diane
Aviva Pauline
Aviva Blanche
Aviva Estelle
Aviva Esther
Aviva Bernice
Aviva Eunice
Aviva Doris
Aviva Maud / Maude
Aviva Suzanne
Aviva Susan
Aviva Karen / Karin
Aviva Nancy
Aviva Sharon
Aviva Kathleen
Aviva Cheryl
Aviva Janet
Aviva Janice
Aviva Denise
Aviva Joyce
Aviva Judith
Aviva Darlene
Aviva Elaine
Aviva Michelle / Michèle (Michele's a male Italian name)
Aviva Lesley
Aviva Robin
I'm fairly bad with fn suggestions, so I won't embarrass myself by offering you some. ;-)
But whatever you do, I think you should stay away from any names starting with F or (especially) V sounds. Or even names highlighting those sounds, like Effie (a bad example, I know--I can't think of anything else at the moment).
