Comments for the name Haven

I really love this name! I'm using it in a story I'm writing about a girl who is coping with the loss of her best friend.

A cool name. Much better than Heaven. In Swedish it means "the seas; the oceans", which I think is fun, since a haven is somewhere you can go when you are in danger on a stormy sea!

Haven is the name of the author Haven Kimmel.

I go on holiday to Haven.

I actually kinda like this name. I was wondering what sort of comments people would leave, but they are quite positive! Very pretty.

Haven is a really pretty name!

Haven is the Dutch word for sea port.

Haven sounds like a very gentle, kind girl, who would be likely to take a baby animal in and nurse it back to health.

In Chima's "Wizard Heir," the wizard-run boarding school is called 'The Havens.'

It can also mean "the garden" in Norwegian.

It's admittedly a pretty name and a nice idea, but it sounds a bit tacky. I can't easily imagine a grown woman named Haven. At most, I can picture some rather kooky new age hippie woman named Haven. The name sounds too much like Hayden, a masculine name, anyway, but I absolutely cannot imagine this name for males despite that because of the meaning. Call me crazy, but something tells me that women tend to be the less violent sex.

Everybody seems to think of a girl when they hear this name, but personally I keep seeing a full-grown man. This name is so strong, yet it isn't rough like so many present male names. It's such a worthy name, and nearing the top of my list.

Pretty, pretty name. I think it sounds nice on either males, or females. I think the name Harper would go nicely as a sibling's name.

This is even cornier than Heaven.

This is my name. I'm 26. I've known three other Havens personally (all male) and known of three others (1 male, two female). I'm often complimented on my name and told that it's quite beautiful. While I am slightly eccentric I am far from a new age kook and the men I have known with the name have all liked having it. In fact I was quite aware of having a "boy's name" until I was in my late teens, when it was accepted as feminine. Oh - and while I do take in stray animals that's far from my personality.

It is a difficult name to bear, just because it is uncommon and close to heaven. However its popularity is increasing and therefore is becoming more common. I don't think of my name as corny, especially with its usage. I do think that parents need to understand how close it is to heaven and the confusion it will cause.

I actually know of a bunch of people named Haven. It's really not an uncommon name.

I love this name, but think about it for a second. Do you really want your daughter to be a "Haven"? I don't know about you, but I see some dirty jokes at the girl's expense.

Haven is my name. Most people pronounce it wrong. They say "Heaven" or they ask me how to pronounce it. Most people like my name a lot. I have seen 1 Haven before. It was a boy. I love my name.

The book That Summer's 9 (Sarah Dessen) main character is a girl named Haven.

Just like Nevaeh is Heaven spelt backwards, Nevah is Haven spelt backwards. I think Nevah is a rather beautiful name.

I am proud to say that I have carried Havens as my last name all of my life and was blessed to be able to give my great granddaughter the name Haven just last year. I am from Swedish and Norwegien descent and was glad to read the meanings of this name in my ancestry.

I actually find the name to be extremely tacky and would expect a stripper to have the name.

I think it's a nice variation of all the Hayden, Aidan and Braden-names. It's a bit more uncommon and it has a nice meaning. It suits girls too but for either gender I'd use it as a middle name instead.

Haven Garner Warren is the second daughter of actress Jessica Alba and her husband, Cash Warren.
