Comments for the name Elva (1)

This is the name of one of the characters in the Inheritance Trilogy by Christopher Paolini.

My grandmother's name was Elva - it's a little old-fashioned-sounding, but very pretty.

This name -- Elva -- really is old-fashioned. Don't use it -- it has two bad associations.

I think this name is cute, my grandmother's first name is Elva-Jean. It reminds me of little elves and fairies and the like.

Also another version of it in Latin is "el"- meaning god or god's likeness, and "va" meaning goes or going. The meaning of that will be "God's likes goes." or "does God's likeness go?", or "where's God's likeness going?"

I don't think it's old-fashioned sounding, and so what if it was? It's better than the modern crap people are naming their kids these days. Use this name if you like it- although I definitely prefer Alva.
