This is a name I very rarely see mentioned on NB and I feel like it has a lot going for it!
Also spelt Kinvarra, it comes from an Irish Gaelic place name meaning “head of the sea”. I’ve seen it crop up a few times in Telegraph birth announcements in recent years.
Possible nicknames: [name_f]Kiki[/name_f], [name_f]Kizzy[/name_f], [name_f]Vara[/name_f]… [name_u]Kit[/name_u]
Interested to know the Berries’ thoughts on this name?
Oooo It’s one of those names I would be blown away when hearing for the first time and would think it’s kinda odd. But the more I look at it, the more charming it gets. I actually like it.
Kinvara/Kinvarra is interesting! I think I like Kinvarra a bit more myself? I’d love to meet a Kinvarra… it feels sort of Cornish, in a way? But I can also see that it’d be Gaelic. I think [name_u]Kit[/name_u] or maybe even [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] would be a cute nn? [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] is a stretch, but anyways.
I haven’t heard this name before and I quite like it! It has a vary beachy and light vibe to it, cheerful and happy. [name_f]Kizzy[/name_f]’s so cute! Maybe [name_f]Nivi[/name_f]/Niva? A bit of a stretch but not too much.
Ooh Kinvara is intriguing! At first glance the sounds are a little sharper (?) (for lack of a better word) than I’m usually drawn to, but I can definitely see the appeal–bold and bright and interesting, but I think very wearable.
I quite like it! I find the transition from the N to the V to be a bit jarring but I’ll definitely be adding this to the character name list I really should write down!
