no

SoupDragon · 06/07/2009 09:17

Why the &&&& would you saddle your daughter with "Diva" as a name? Unless you are cruel, evil or stupid.

MamaLazarou · 06/07/2009 09:18

I once knew a rotteweiler called Diva. It's a very good name for a rotteweiler.

Wilkiepedia · 06/07/2009 09:19

Pls tell me you're joking

mummiesnet · 06/07/2009 18:29

Ok, well thanks for your honest opinions.

I still like it though and would consider using it.

Mine ears are bleeding from this name...NO NO NO

RenagadeMum · 06/07/2009 18:32

If you have to, at least have it being short for something beginning with D so that she can change it to that when she realises what an atrocious name you have landed her with.

Jux · 06/07/2009 18:35

Only if she is.

magbags · 06/07/2009 19:04

Err, no. Don't be rediculous.

CrushWithEyeliner · 06/07/2009 19:06

I have an asian friend called Deeva, I like it spelt like this only. She is beautiful.

TsarChasm · 06/07/2009 19:13

Hmm no not really.

But kinda similar in an anagram sort of way, I've always quite liked Veda/Vida (from excellent Joan Crawford film 'Mildred Pierce')

HerHonesty · 06/07/2009 22:02

it would not be the kindest of choices for your child, but i can understand why you like it.

monkeyfacegrace · 06/07/2009 22:16

Please tell me I didnt read Zilla as a suggestion? Is she a dinosaur or something?

fishie · 06/07/2009 22:19
