HelpRe: Davina
in reply to a message by Evey
I did a thread earlier this year on female Scottish names and Davina is one of my favorites. It didn't go over especially well with the regulars here so I'm thrilled that someone else likes Davina!
I've never heard the other pronunciation and I'm not sure you'd get what you're looking for. The pronunciation of Davina seems pretty straitforward to me. I confess, I'd probably do a double take if I heard someone called DAV-inn-a. As far as nns go, I think Davy/Davie would be much more likely than Dave (yuck).
I like Davina Rose and Davina Clare.
BTW, EH-va is a legit pronunciation (there are several). ;-)
