The name Avia?

[Bluepinkyellowgreenamber]

Opinions on the name Avia?

Avia means “God is my father" from a Hebrew root, and "bird" from Latin.

The first time I have heard this name and I like it. My concern is about confusion over pronunciation - Ahvia, Avvia, or Ayvia.

Isn’t it the name of a p&o cruise ship?

It's got wings.

Car hire company?

That's Avis.

Nickname Beaky? (Ooh we, chirpy, chirpy, cheep, cheep)

My daughter has this name. Usually spelt Aviya in English. Named to honour my late father and inspired by the film The Summer of Aviya!
it’s very unusual but we do know a few other girls with this name (it’s actually gender neutral and my husband did once meet an older man called Aviya).

It’s ah, vee, ya
if that makes sense ! Soft ‘a’ as in address (not Avis)

I know 2, both pronounced Ay-vee-yah

i like the name

That's Arvia. However, that's what I thought of first too when I heard the name

Sounds like the insurance company Aviva to me.

Avia like the petrol stations?

Maybe a bit niche but makes me think of the Shaytards (horrendous name) - aMormon vlogging family with questionable morals who have a kid called Avia.

Pretty name.

Interesting!

Does she like her name if you don’t mind me asking? And do you get any issues with pronunciation or spelling?

Never heard of them.

I don’t think we have them in my area.

Yes I thought insurance too

I think she loves it ! It’s very her if that makes any sense… she’s a bit of a free spirit and it seems to match that.

lots of people pronounce it as the poster put above, or even a,vee,yer but she’s very easy going so doesn’t matter to her! She’s travelling and just met another Aviya so was thrilled about that !

I think it’s absolutely lovely ☺️

It sounds a bit corporate made up name to me, sorry. I could totally imagine Amazon coming out with an AI assistant called Avia.

Avia is a brand of fairly cheap running shoes.

I'd swerve if I were you.

I like it but I think it could get misheard / misread as Ava, given that’s so popular at the moment.

Sorry but it made me think of avian flu 🙁

Aviva )))) silly name, sorry

I’m very sorry but because we’re based in Uk, I see that name and think Aviva (insurance). May with very well someplace where Aviva insurance isn’t so known

I honestly thought it was an airline company.
