It's nice, haven't heard of it before but it sounds pretty.

I agree it's a pretty name and easy enough to pronounce.

Lovely!

Can't work out if you mean it's pronounced ay-var-nee or ah-var-nee but either way, it looks pretty and seems like a nice choice. If it is pronounced 'ah' rather than 'ay', be prepared for people to pronounce it like Ava with 'nee' on the end!

It's nice although very close to avanti which I think means enter in Italian. Not a major quibble.

Sorry. not for me - sounds a bit 'made up' Is it a real name?
Also could be a car - Renault Avani, Chrysler Avani :)

I like it for the person you have said, is it Hindu?

I read it as ah-var-nee, don't know if that's correct though.

winkle2 · 24/03/2012 12:20

It's a Hindu name meaning earth.

I'd pronounce it ahvarnee

I think its beautiful,and with a lovely meaning.

gwendolinefairfax · 25/03/2012 19:42

Beautiful name. Reminds me of Shivani.

It sounds beautiful on the tongue but sadly is far too close to Armani for me - which is right in the middle of the truly awful and naff category I'm afraid.
