My faters name is David. I do love it not only does it mean beloved, it’s also rare. People always question how to say it.

Love the name Dava (pronounced DAY vah). It strikes me a sophisticated and smart. I am very surprised that this name has never been popular. It’s so easy to say and has no outright offensive or harsh sounds. I think she would fit right in with the names of today while still holding her own.

Maybe it’s because I’ve never met anyone by any of those names, maybe it’s because they all seem like they’re trying too hard — I dunno.

But I do agree that Dava is one of the better options.

It feels similar to me–she was always claiming it was “Hannah” with a “D”.

That said, I’m not a big fan in general – it’s fine but it doesn’t really float my boat.
