Do you like the name Ziva?

[AgnesBrown]

Am only 6 weeks but can't help thinking about names.

I like Ziva.

Any thoughts?

Prefer Zinnea/Zenia/Vita/Zilla.

I've never heard of Ziva.

Sounds like a made up character out of Blake's 7 to me (showing my age)

Yes I love it - spent ages trying to get dh to agree to it (he is not keen).
Agree with belgos suggestions too. I love Zilla, but Godzilla has ruined that name for a generation or two I think!

it is real, it's a Hebrew name.

Ziva fever?

No. Sounds like a cheap brand of sportswear.

What about Zia? (which is actually a name)

Its a real name

Its the name of one of the special agents in NCIS

She is beautiful, strong and independant, things I would love a daughter to be.

We are pasty white typical brits with an Irish Surname, so would it sound odd to have an hebrew first name?

i have never seen NCIS - that is maybe why dh would not agree when i was after it!

Would be a good scrabble score!

Have never heard of it, but it sounds very strong-dont mess with me type of name.

Much prefer Zia

Love it. It's on our list for a girl.

Yes, I think it would be odd for a pale pasty british girl to have an unusual hebrew name. How about Zara, Sylvia, Sophie, Vivien?

NCIS for me too.
Unusual, pretty, strong, but a bit too "tough" for me.

There is a mn'er who has a dd called Ziva. I love it although it does remind me of NCIS, do really likes it especially as it's hebrew and his mum is Jewish. I just need to get pregnant though really [hgrin]

ooh, I LOVE it. I know a Ziv (boy) and thought it was cute but hadn't heard of the female version. Might just have to steal it...(sorry) :)

Dp not do!

The first thing I thought was NCIS!! (When's it coming back on!)

I quite like it.

I'm watching it on FX weekdays and 5 on Sundays I have a bit of a crush on probie lol

Thanks for all the comments

upahill, the new series starts this friday on FX

Not fond - sounds like somebody in a 1970s sci-fi novel.

Sounds like a car to me. 'the new Vauxhall Ziva' etc.

I do like Zara better, Ziva may not be made up, but it sounds made up if you see what I mean.

NCIS for me. Whatever you do don't name your DS Jethro or even worse Probie!

NCIS,i watch it all the time,and i adore Ziva the character and the name
laura :o at Probie,its not a name,its a term that means beginner or newbie,,

When I read it, I thought it was an alternative spelling of Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction...

Yeah, that could work too.

Yes, like it. I'd guess a Ziva had Jewish/ Middle Eastern roots?
