Cute and girly, but a bit common and too cutesy to have a real personality/feeling.

Love it...see sig. I'm having doubts about Adelaide atm but still fully intend to use Aviva as a mn for future 2nd DD (lol) as it has special meaning to me. Plus it has a gorgeous meaning, and there's something just so sweet and fresh about it. Plus palindromes are always cool ;)

I love it! I adore the sound and the meaning is sweet. I fell in love with the combo, Aviva Soleil ("Spring Sunshine"). Aviva's one of my top 5 girls names at the moment and I also like nn Vivi which Julia already mentioned.

i love Aviva. i think it sounds strong and beautiful. I would never use it though as i don't like the possible nn Viv.

I love, love, love it. It's a long time member of my favourites list. :) It just sounds so 'vivacious' (I think it's the 'viv' part) and fresh. And palindromes are always nice. :)

Love Aviva.It's my choir teacher's daughter's name, not to mention it's very pretty. It's also my friend's Hebrew mn.

It's pretty and has a sweet, simple meaning.

PalindromesI only think of the Todd Solondz movie "Palindromes". So creepy and hopeless. Thus, I'd never use the name even though I like a good palindrome now and again...

It's a gorgeous, unique name. It immediately reminds me of Delphi_Blue, because of one of her combos is Adelaide Lucy Aviva.

Love it!It's refreshing, spunky but also feminine & elegant enough to imagine it on a pretty princess! It's near the top of my list.

I've noticed it is a name that a few of us have been using in our favorite lists.I think it is a very vibrant name. :)I pair it with Adelaide usually.

I adore Aviva! It's sweet and snappy but still mature. Vivi is an adorable nickname, too.

Pretty sound, though just looking at it makes me think of Tel-Aviv. Random, I know. :P

I almost like it but it seems too much like a product to me--perfume, bottled water, allergy medication, I can't decide which it seems like a more appropriate brand name for. The sound isn't bad but it's a bit too commercial-ish for me to really get behind. :-/

I agree...And here's why-https://www.avivacanada.com/lol, they've been my step-dad's insurer for years. While I think the name is so beautiful and when my daughter was born early one Spring morning this year part of me wanted to call her this, but I just couldn't get past the insurance thing (oh, that and my husband hated it!). It's too bad when good names suffer from bad/unnecessary associations ;(

Makes me think "Viva" as in "Viva Las Vegas" which is a bad thing :(
