Beverīna
I found an old Latvian baby name book. This was listed, apparently it is rare, but it was used at the turn of the century. It is from a place name in Latvia. I really am digging it. My mother's name is Beverly and thought this was a cool alternative. (BEH-veh-REE-nah).Wdyt?

This is a pretty neat name. I like it, but I don't think I prefer it to Beverly.

It makes me think of a beverage brand.

I like it, although it reminds me of beaver. It kind of sounds like a name of a character of a kids' book.

It sounds like a supplement for women. Or a birth control pill? "Do not take Beverina if you experience dizziness, rapid weight loss, suicidal thoughts or depression. Talk to your doctor about Beverina."

Hi Shaymin !!!I think that Beverina is great!!It has the same Bever- sound but without the annoying-trendy -ly ending. I like it because it is a perfect variant for Beverly without changing it too much. It seems a natural evolution of it even simplier and steady!

There is a Medieval Dutch name I liked with "Bever" in it, but I cannot remember what it was.

It sounds like a name for some powdered drink mix. Low-cal, maybe like SlimFast.

All the datedness of Beverly with none of the familiarity. Bevin is a much better honor name.

I don't care for Bevin.

I don't like the Bev/Bever sound, though I can see the appeal if your mom's name is Beverly. I like Severina as a GP.

I like Seweryn (know a few guys with that name since I am Polish and grew up around a lot of Polish people), never been a fan of its female form and especially Severina. The severe part really bugs me.

While extremely young, reruns of TV Show entitled Welcome Back Kotter would broadcast. I HATED the name Barbarino - which was a character name: I just looked into the characters of this TV show: Barbarino would be the last name of the character portrayed by John Travolta.

I really don't like it. It sounds sickly sweet and makes me think of the word,'ballerina'
I think 'Everly' or something would be a better alternative.

I would never use a surname as a first name and Everly is too popular. It has a nice sound and all. Besides, while I love my mother and I like the sound of both Beverly and Everly, I really don't like the meanings of "meadow of the beavers" or "meadow of the boars."

It sounds like something you stir into milk to give it a vanilla malt flavor.
