This name is utterly uminaginable on males. I've only heard of females named either Virva or Virve, the latter being far more common. The truth is that I don't find this name very pretty. Having too 'v's in one short name is too much. [noted -ed]
More accurately, in Finnish folklore virvaliekkis (wills o' the wisp) refered to small lights/fires which appeared on swamps, and they were believed to mark the hiding places of lost treasures.As a first name, Virva is predominantly feminine; I've never encountered a male with this name.

I think this would make a very beautiful girl's name. It's charming, sweet and feminine.
