I've only met one person with this name, an older woman. It was often mispronounced by others, so she went by a nickname. I really like its meaning, and the name in general is nice as well.
Aghavni... the pleasant fluttering of wings and the sweet coo of a dove. Aghavni, I imagine, carries within themselves the essence of serenity and compassion, qualities revered in Armenian society. She speaks to a longing for balance and harmony, offering solace in times of strife. Kindness, empathy and reconciliation in fostering understanding and unity among all people... a timeless emblem of peace, Aghavni spreads their wings to encompass hearts and souls.
It's actually a pretty common name in my experience, but I like it. A friend of mine is thinking about naming her daughter this. In Armenian, it should be written as Աղավնի.
Pronounced arh-AHV-nee, since in Armenian the 'gh' is pronounced like a French 'r': http://www.geocities.com/learn_armenian/pronunciation.html
It's a very pretty name, but since I'm American (not of Armenian descent), if I were to name my daughter this, everyone would probably caller her ah-GAHV-nee instead, and that would be annoying.
Somehow, although the "G" and the "H" together would normally put me off, this name appeals to me. I think the final "I" gives it spunk.
