What is your favourite ? I feel reeva is a bit marmite although my husband isn’t the biggest Serena fan … our daughter is Lucia ! All opinions or ideas welcome !!!!

I do prefer Reeva but like a PP, I just hear Steenkamp on the end. Probably because I've literally never come across another one.

I quite like Serena.

On similar lines - Rivkah, Remy, Seren, Sabrina?

Do you like Seren ?
Lucia and Seren is lovely.
I don't really like Serena, and I'm unsure about Reeva.

Reeva is lovely, there are two Reevas in my DC year group, so it’s definitely becoming more popular.

Reeva. Although i do automatically think of Steenkamp.

Reeva 100%. Lovely and unusual. Possibly some negative connotations with Oscar Pistorius, but what better way to remember that Reeva than to keep her beautiful name going.
