I prefer Iva as in (Iva Davies)

Sounds like a nickname for a bloke. Sorry

Cortina · 13/08/2010 10:14

Boys name, and an old established one I think. That's a guess, just based on the odd one or two I've come across as adults.

I like it. One of the twins in 'Child of Our Time' is called Ivo.

Cortina · 13/08/2010 10:21

O/T but Chicken has Child of Our Time been on again recently? I've really enjoyed following the children featured on there. Someone mentioned it had been and I think I've missed it. Is it a scottish name?

The Ivo on the programme is Scottish, and it sounds lovely pronounced in that accent. I don't think it has been on recently, or if it has I've missed it :(

It's a boy's name. I know two, strangely, and quite like it

deliakate · 13/08/2010 10:28

For a boy its much better, sorry thought you were thinking of a girl

It's a saint's name. There are two of them. Ivo of Chartres and Ivo the Persian bishop who gave his name to St Ives in Cambridgeshire. There's also a St Ives in Cornwall. Good choice.

I know an Ivo, and Ivor and an Ive. I like Ivo best.

LibertyGibbet · 13/08/2010 12:32

I adore Ivo. It's a lovely name.

KERALA1 · 13/08/2010 13:36

I think its lovely

yama · 13/08/2010 14:04

I hadn't heard of it until Child of Our Time.

I love it though.

clouddragon · 13/08/2010 14:14

lovely name

yellowflowers · 13/08/2010 14:39

Is it pronounced Eve-o or I've-o?

LibertyGibbet · 13/08/2010 15:13

Eye Vo.

yellowflowers · 13/08/2010 15:13

I love it.

scurryfunge · 13/08/2010 21:42

My Czech au pair was called Ivo (male)....quite like it.

Atlasive · 17/08/2010 23:41

Not keen, it looks a bit unfinished to me.

DandyDan · 17/08/2010 23:46

There was a vampire called Ivo in a children's book by Terrance Dicks (Dr Who writer).
