Boys name

Aardvark

I've seen it used for both girls and boys, but mostly boys.

Aardvark

Sorry, I didn't understand. what does aardvark mean?

You asked if it sounds like an animal name ('elephant, bird?').
I suggested that it's a good name for an aardvark.

Either i think..i like Oiseau too.

I'd assume it was short for Octavia.

I know it as a (Jewish) men's name.

It's a boy's name of Hebrew origin. Means 'father of a multitude'.
Still a good name for an aardvark though.

I know a girl Avi - full name Aviana.

Not sure. I think I have known one Avi Male and Jewish.
I wouldn’t be sure.
If pronounced A - vi as I. The letter A if be more likely to think it was a girl.
If Ah-vi. A boy.
But I wouldn’t be sure.

Id say a girls name personally

I know a Jewish man with the name Avi.

Jewish boys name.

I know someone called Avi, it's short for Avigail

She's a woman btw

Avigail ?! There’s a new one !

I know! I think her parents are Philippino?

I know two Avis, both Jewish, one male one female. Both pronounced to rhyme with savvy. The guy, it’s short for Avishai, not sure of her full name in the woman’s case.

Its a jewish man's name.

The man I know with that name is not a nice man though - left his wife for someone less than half his age. Blond. Big tits.

So every time I hear it, I just think of him and the pain he caused.

brit although sad that did make me laugh. Is this a first for name view being ‘no because blonde and big tits’ !

Boys name

Jewish boy’s name. There was a famous Israeli footballer called Avi who played for Glasgow Rangers (DH is a fan).

Jewish boy's name

I would assume male, as I've only known one Avi who was a teenage boy. I wouldn't blink if I was introduced to a female Avi, though, as it could be short for a few things, I imagine. Maybe even a name in it's own right.

(Avigail is a very very old Hebrew name, and where we get the name Abigail from!).
