Reminds me of the glucometer
Pretty, I like it. Great for a child born in the spring.
A long time ago, I read that Rita Dove named her daughter Aviva. That was the first time I saw the name, and I thought something like 'cool, how vivacious and original'.
Then Ava got super popular. And now it seems try-hard. And probably more connected with Israel than I am comfortable with. But it's still vivacious.
It also reminds me of Aziza, which is the name of someone I met in college and didn't like much. Aziza is cool name, though, objectively.
I'd prefer Geneva.

I like it a lot. It has a vibrant, fun feel.
Love.
My husband dislikes it, otherwise it would have topped my list.

It’s been a favorite of mine for years, it’s gorgeous!

On English language baby name forums, this is the Maeve of Hebrew names.
What do you mean?
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.
Okay! Thanks for the explanation. You are right.
I knew an Aviva once. It was really cool to encounter in real life. I like the palindrome aspect of it.
