What is your favourite ? I feel reeva is a bit marmite although my husband isn’t the biggest Serena fan … our daughter is Lucia ! All opinions or ideas welcome !!!!

@oviraptor21 is the Steenkamp association a bad thing? Why should her lovely name not be given to new lives just because she was murdered by a trigger-happy abusive twat of a man? Her name doesn’t deserve to be erased.

I couldn’t agree more. I think one of the reasons I love the name Reeva is because of how beautiful Reeva Steenkamp was. This beautiful name should continue on.

Also, it hasn’t stopped people loving and using the name Oscar!

Reeva reminds me of Reeva Steenkamp. I'd never heard of the name before her murder so I hear it and just think of her hiding in terror in the bathroom. Whereas with Oscar it's a more widely known name and my first association isn't 'Pistorius'.

Serena is lovely. As are Celine and Selena.

Reeva makes me think of the series firefly
