Ziva?

[DLaderBeal]

Thoughts please on this girl’s name?

Not my cup of tea, sounds too like the Zika virus!!

I haven't heard of it before but i think it is gorgeous. would it be pronounced Zee-va or Zi-va?

Too much like Zika virus for me sorry

I do like a girl's name beginning with Z, my youngests name begins with Z!

Yes too simiaor to zika sorry

Nice sound but my first thought was 'is that the deadly virus?' (no, as it turns out!)

One of the female characters in NCIS - it is Hebrew for "radiance"

I'm afraid my first thought was Zika upon reading it too.

Saying it aloud though (Zee-va), it does sound quite nice.

It makes me think of the daffodil with the same name. To be fair it’s a very nice daffodil.

Pretty Hebrew name. I like it.

Unfortunately the virus was my first thought too.

Sounds like an oral contraceptive.

Ziva the Diva

Interesting and unusual! Better than another Ava or Emily

It’s “Zee-va”, Hebrew. I love short, strong but pretty names and this is one that’s been on my mind; I used to know a lovely Ziva.

Also like names like Noor, Vashti, Zosia, Tamar, Anouk...

Doesn't it also mean gonorrhea in Hebrew?
but I might be wrong... I just remember watching NCIS with an Israeli roommate.

I know a lovely Ziva of about seven. Nice change from the Lila Lola Layla Lyra of her year group.

Do you watch NCIS by any chance?

Ziva David. Only time I have heard the name. I like it.

I love Noor and Anouk.

I like it. Probably prefer Zena but it’s more common.

Also like Viva (pronounced Veeva).

Makes me think you are an NCIS fan but I do like it.

Lovely. We had a cat called that, named after the one on NCIS.

I’ve never heard of it before, but I actually like it. Even moved that it’s a traditional name.
