I don't like it much. It sounds vaguely Scandinavian, but also reminiscent of Elvis, and kind of like a font - Elvia and Helvetica.

It reminds me of a Finnish name Elvi, which was also my great-grandmother's name. Somehow, despite its ancient origin, Elvia seems made-up to me: I prefer Elvi and Elvira for now.

My paternal grandmother's name was Elva. I loved her dearly.Yet I was always put off by her name - not that I thought it was particularly unattractive (at least compared to maternal grandmother, Mavis) but because I was always acutely aware that Elva was her name and that Alva was occasionally given as a male name. (Growing up just a few miles from Thomas Alva Edison's birthplace will do that to a guy, I guess.)Anyway, with that in mind, I rather like Elvia. I like the way it reminds me of my grandmother, but with a bit more of a feminine twist to.As far as middle names go, I rather like some of the combinations you offered - Elvia Susanna and Elvia Rosalind in particular.

It just reminds me too much of elves
I like Elvira more but maybe that’s because I’ve met an Elvira

I hear it as generic and also religious. I think of a dirt road.Interesting that it actually means blonde!These are my fav of the combos...

Interesting, why generic? Where are you from? I'm in the U.S. and know only vaguely of a writer named Elvia Wilk.

I meant that I get a general impression of plainness from it, not that I've seen it as a name very often.Like my 1st associations are random words / commonplace things: salvia, alvia, (elvia?...el, via... God & The Way, aka Christianity). Plus it sounds like Olivia and El* is a very common name element.
