HelpRe: Ivana
in reply to a message by Neely
I don't care for Ivana--I only think Ivana Trump.
But I love Iva, which is a variation of Ivana and Ivan that is also common in Eastern Europe. I went to college with a beautiful Czech woman named Iva. I thought the spelling was nice because the pronunciation is obvious (in contrast to Eva, which can be pr. Iva or Ava). I suppose it's possible that someone might try to pronounce it Eye-va (like Ivy), but that's kind of stretching it.
