HelpRe: Davida or Davina
in reply to a message by Siri
I'm not sure which I prefer.
Davida, pros: more unusual/distinctive looking & sounding (as Miranda noted), seems brighter and more upbeat to me. Cons: looks like David with an A tacked onto it. The name David jumps out of it when it's written.
Davina, pros: more conventional sounding, looks more like an originally femme name. More serious looking. Cons: needs a kre8iv mind to derive it from David or from nowhere, and shows it. The -ina is typical and boring and brings the name down, to me.
Guess I'd prefer Davida, but I wouldn't want to be named something that was such a synthetic feminization of a male name, myself.
Anyway, I think both are nice, and a bit different, in a good way.
