[Opinions] Ivana
Anyone who dislikes this name is more than welcome to say their opinion. (It's a form of Joanna, which is ok).

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.

I like it.
I knew a little girl called Ivana and her nn was Ivvy, I thought it was cute. She had a big brother called Dejan (Day-an). I thought the names made a good sibset, but don't think they would work unless you had a Serbo-Croatian background
