My name is Flavia. My mother was searching for a girl's name in a book of Baby Names, and this one jumped out at her and she just loved it. I disliked and was embarrassed by my name as a child and young adolescent, and came to appreciate it more as an adult. Throughout my life my name has been generally favorably received, and I get many compliments on it. My family has Italian heritage, and I am American born and raised. We have always pronounced it the Italian way and in two syllables: Flah-vya. I do not like when people at times pronounce it Flay-vee-uh.

First came across this name in my Latin book in 1980s (Ecce Romani) and thought it a lovely name. Never had a daughter (only one son) so no occasion to consider using it.

It's my name. Is very common in Brazil and really very exotic in USA. But I'm happy to see that there are people outside Brazil who consider Flavia a beautiful name. And I agree that the name Flavia seems to be the name of a red-haired and freckled woman. But unfortunately, I don't have natural red hair...

Flavia is the name of the Mary Sue protagonist of the infamous Percy Jackson and the Olympians fanfic Moon Daughter (which is kind of like My Immortal in terms of its horrible spelling and grammar and hilariously bad dialogue). She is supposed to be the demigoddess daughter of Artemis. Despite her name meaning "blonde", Flavia hates blondes with a flaming passion.

Though Flavia means yellow, it seems like a total redhead name to me. I picture gorgeous red or auburn-haired women from a Pre-Raphaelite paintings. I like Flavia a lot. It's a very beautiful name, and it has this Victorian elegance and strength to it, which I can't help but admire.
