Hi! What do you think about [name_f]Ziva[/name_f]? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you like it soundwise?
I’ve first heard this name on NCIS and loved it ever since (esp because it’s tied to such a strong character). Any other names that give you an “independent, stands up for herself, badass” vibe?
TIA
I really like the sound of [name_f]Ziva[/name_f]. It’s like [name_f]Zara[/name_f] and [name_f]Eva[/name_f], but more unusual and intriguing.
However, in another thread somebody pointed out that it has a bad meaning in Hebrew, which is a bit of a downer.
To me [name_f]Reeva[/name_f]/Riva and [name_f]Zella[/name_f] and seem quite similar so I would suggest them.
I like it! It’s different, but not out-there.
Others that, while not altogether similar, give me a similar vibe:
Tiva
Ismae
[name_f]Morrigan[/name_f]
[name_u]Crimson[/name_u]
[name_f]Circe[/name_f]
[name_f]Galilee[/name_f]
[name_f]Enid[/name_f]
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f]
[name_u]Sloane[/name_u]

Ziva is pretty funky
Rhoda, [name_f]Freda[/name_f], [name_f]Zilla[/name_f] and [name_f]Keziah[/name_f] remind me of [name_f]Ziva[/name_f]
Gorgeous name!
I absolutely adore [name_f]Ziva[/name_f]! It’s fun, spunky, and sparky!
I have decided it’s a GP though because it’s the Israeli Hebrew word for gonorrhea 
Oh noo, is this well-known/instantly connected? (About gonorrhea)
I’m not Israeli so this is what I’ve heard from research and from a poster on this site. The word is spelled differently in Hebrew but pronounced exactly the same. The poster said that he mentioned the name to his cousins who live in [name_u]Israel[/name_u] and they thought it was weird and kinda funny.
However, the name is still used in that part of the world so perhaps there is more nuance!
Love it! Sounds spunky and great association to the character.
