What do you mean?

Hi !!!I think that she means that Aviva is similar to the toddler speech. As English-speaker babies pronounce earlier M-sounding names (like Maeve), Hebrew-speaker babies pronounce AV-names (like Aviva or also the Hebrew word for 'father').

Actually, not at all! I meant that it's a foreign name that is CONSTANTLY suggested and loved on by English-speaking posters, while they would never be down for Deirbhile or Livnat. I saw a Swedish poster on another forum say that English speakers who say they like Swedish names really only like Freyja, and not names with more hard consonants. Names that fit neatly into 2010s English-language name trends.
