The name Avia?

Opinions on the name Avia?

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

It's ok but my first thought was aviary (as in a big bird cage.)

Not heard of it before and wouldn’t know how it was pronounced but do like it. I prefer the Aviya spelling though.

Sounds like a bathroom cleaner.

I read it as Aviva and thought insurance company

It makes me think of avian flu.

Insurance

Avia is British Airways’ loyalty scheme, isn’t it?

That's Avios, @SpottyAardvark

They are all over the place in France. I guess if you don't live in France (or wherever else there might be Avia petrol stations) then it doesn't really matter. It's not an unpleasant connotation for a name to have (unless you're involved in Just Stop Oil, lol) just kind of random.

The only use of the name Avia that I'm aware of is the mid- market Swiss watch company that's been around for 100+ years. I've got one!

It's not objectionable, but I wouldn't pick it for my own daughter, to be honest. It's obviously going to get shortened to Avi, and I don't like the way that sounds

I think it’s a lovely name. But I also like Aviva!
