I think the Op is having us on - see her other thread

How about Divvika? I knew a little Hindu girl called this, it sounded very pretty and I think it means "gift of light"

tearinghairout · 04/07/2009 19:53

It's not a name. sounds more like an insult - don't do it.

procrastinatingparent · 04/07/2009 19:51

Hell, no.

LouMacca · 04/07/2009 19:45

Absolutely no for this one.

Mammina · 04/07/2009 19:06

sorry no

hercules1 · 04/07/2009 18:43

She will have children and adults alike giggling behind her back and in front of her for the whole of her life, that's why.

gibbberish · 04/07/2009 18:43

You could call her 'prima donna' instead...

HuffwardlyRudge · 04/07/2009 18:41

Oooh! I have never EVER said no on a baby name thread before.

But NO!

No no no no no no no.

Noonki · 04/07/2009 18:40

you do get it means a pain in the arse basically dont you!

gibbberish · 04/07/2009 18:38

No because of the meaning. She would be constantly bullied.

Can I ask why you would consider it?

aGalChangedHerName · 04/07/2009 18:30

janeite · 04/07/2009 17:45

God, no.

Amelia and Lucy okay, much better than Diva but I don't love them.

TheGashlycrumbTinies · 04/07/2009 17:45

Much better than Diva!

Hmm ok.

I kind of vary wildly between something like that and something v traditional.

What do you think of Amelia or Lucy?
