I also like Vita. And Lucy and Amelia. But Vita more unusual.

Cistus · 04/07/2009 20:53

NO

honeydew · 04/07/2009 20:50

Davina in fine though

LittleMissBliss · 04/07/2009 20:49

I like Vita.

honeydew · 04/07/2009 20:48

awful!

It's not a name - it's description of someone who is selfish, bullying, proud, prissy and demanding.

Hardly good qualities!!!Poor girl, she will get bullied so much.

Greensleeves · 04/07/2009 20:44

It's less common than Lucy or Amelia

but they are both lovely names too

DebiNewberry · 04/07/2009 20:40

yes, life, like Greeny said.

Vita is a very cool name.

belgo · 04/07/2009 20:39

Dita and Rita are also lovely. So is Zilla.

Greensleeves · 04/07/2009 20:38

It means life

my adopted baby sister was called Vita, before my mother changed it

Vita Ana Cecilia

beautiful IMO

belgo · 04/07/2009 20:38

When she's being stroppy you can tell her off for being a right little diva and she'll reply that it's your fault for calling her that and she's just living up to expectations.

No, no, no.

madame · 04/07/2009 20:24

not unless you want her to grow up like one!

EyeballsandherSunburntNorks · 04/07/2009 20:24

Oh God. What is going on with people these days. Just forget the silly names and pick ones that people won't take the piss out of. Diva is a not particularly nice word not a name.

DebiNewberry · 04/07/2009 20:24

Vita?

pooka · 04/07/2009 20:23

PMSL at LUcy DIva.

No no no.

Just no to Diva full stop.

Unless you already have a boy called Thesp. Or a girl called Sneer. IN which case go for it.

No not Indian Aranea.

So most people are saying no then.

I still like it a lot, would it be ok as a middle name do you think? Like Lucy Diva?

OP posts:
Aranea · 04/07/2009 20:04

Are you Indian? I know a little Diva and I think it's really pretty. But I don't think it would work if you weren't Indian tbh.
