Thinking of calling our baby Shivani
What do think of the name? Have you heard of it before?

I am of Indian origin so have come across it. I think it is a beautiful name and not too common either. Nice choice.

Sounds like a Hindu name to me (God Shiva) so unless you know the meaning etc you might want to explore first (I don't know what Shiva signifies:) it might be beautiful and appropriate, or not.

I used to work with a Shivarni. I always thought it was a nice name.

tammie2010 · 12/11/2013 21:57

We are actually Indian, just want feedback on whether its not too hard to pronounce and if you like it?

Have never heard of it before but I think it sounds lovely!

Naicecuppatea · 14/11/2013 20:24

Love it, pretty name. I am also of Indian origin and knew a Shivani at school. I haven't come across it since so I am sure it is not too common.

thegreylady · 16/11/2013 18:12

Lovely
I know a beautiful Shabhana too-friend of my dd's

mathanxiety · 17/11/2013 05:25

Sounds really lovely. Seems easy to pronounce.

BeigeBuffet · 17/11/2013 12:21

I know a Shivana and a Shivani, both are lovely names associated with lovely people.

squoosh · 17/11/2013 12:54

I think it's gorgeous.

SelectAUserName · 17/11/2013 13:01

What a lovely name! Have never come across it before but it's great, and I definitely don't see any difficulties in pronunciation.

puddleduck16 · 17/11/2013 13:51

I too was also at uni with a Shivani (who was of indian origin too). Easy to spell and pronounce. Lovely name!

Alisvolatpropiis · 19/11/2013 20:20

It's lovely and easy to say...unless I am going wildly wrong! Grin
