Female Version Of Davey
You know how there are Female versions of names? I was wondering what the female version of the name Davey would be. If not Davey then David. It would help so much if anyone could tell me.

Here are the ones in the Behind the Name database:Davida (prn. dah-VEE-da, I think)
Davina
Davena
Davinia
Vina (can be short for Davina)You can find such things on this site by going to the entry for the name DAVID, and clicking the "related names" link on the right side of the page. The list of related names shows their gender.It seems possible that Jedidah might be loosely related somehow .. but that is just a wild guess on my part. Someone else here could probably tell you .... ?You might find a few more David-related forms at thinkbabynames.com, if you search for girl names beginning with Dav. I am not sure if that site restricts its list to names with documented real-life usage, though.- mirfak

...and in addition to those in the above post I've seen Dava and Davette as created feminine forms of David.
