I like Flavia. I like that it is an old Roman name and I like the meaning (golden). But I don't know if it is close to some "bad" word in English. I associate with "flavour" which I don't find bad. And I think Via would be a nice nn.

Genereally F-names do not seem to be popular, apart from Fiona, Felicity and Francesca.

It's nms.

I was thinking of posting about Flavia myself :)

Flavia is a rare name that I really have mixed emotions about. Some days I think it's beautiful and some days I think it's absolutely hideous. My feelings are never ambivalent or towards the middle of the road. It's very love/hate. Today is a hate day.

I like it. I used it as a middle name for Catherine in a Create-A-Family game a while ago and it sounded nice there. It appeals to my like of feminine names that aren't completely frilly with a bunch of "ah" and "eh" sounds in them (Isabella, Gabriella, etc).

Nope, no, no, no!!!!!!!!!!

Flavia is definately not my favorite. It's strange and make me think of flab, which is not a good thing for people to think of when they hear a name.

I hate to say it, but I'm not the first here to do so, so I guess it's ok- I get the association to something nasty, some word I can't find in my mind, not appealing.
Bad flavour is the spontaneous reaction.
Sorry.

As far as names go this isn't too bad but it does sound rather old-fashioned on one had and rather out-there on the other hand! But I think a cute nickname could make it work very well, do you have any combos in mind?

Have yourself a buggy little Christmas!

I think it reminds me of an unpleasant word, but I can't work out which one! Anyhow, I still think it's cute and original for someone else's child.

Flavia could definitely work. It has a nice sound. It always reminds me of the word Flavor though, haha.

Another name that it reminds me of is Fulvia : )
