I love this name.

but I’m not even vaguely Jewish. Im not religious in the slightest.

would it be weird to consider it.

we live in the North of Scotland.

I love Ziva!

I went checking and discovered this from a baby name website. Cutting and pasting:

"Personally, I think Ziva would still work as a name. In Hebrew, Ziva as gonorrhea and as a brilliant light are spelled differently (זיבה versus זיוה). Ziva’s listed on Kveller (a website for Jewish parents that has a baby names encyclopedia) so they also give it a stamp of approval! I know a Ziva whose family is fairly observant and certainly knows Hebrew; I don’t think she’s had many issues"

I checked and it is listed, along with the male variant Ziv.

I'd still use it personally, it's such a beautiful name!

isn't that the name of that brazilian virus that affected unborn foetuses?

That was my first thought too.

I really like it! I know a girl called Ziva and she's a little Scottish girl too.

Go for it ❤️
