I've never heard of any of the companies or products that the other commenters are associating with this name. To me, Aviva is one of those names that I'm surprised to see is outside of the US top 1000, with all the Avas and Vivians running around!

:( too bad there are buses and companies named Aviva. Love the sound, meaning, and it's a palindrome!

I'm also a pharmacist but that association has never bothered me. Drug companies are constantly attempting to brand their products with appealing names. Azurette or Jolessa, anyone?

I love the name Lotus but it's also the name of a computer system at my mom's job.... That won't stop me 😈

This is a type of blood glucometer (the accu-chek Aviva plus) in the US. It is a nice name, but maybe steer clear if you have lots of friends or family in the medical profession. As a pharmacist, all I can think of when I hear this name is "diabetes." Lol.

I love Aviva but whenever I mention it to people they all say like the car insurance annoying
Kibby Says:
This is the name of an insurance company. (In Canada at least!)
Essa Says:
I think of buses. They're Arriva but still, too similar for me.

I love this as a middle name, pretty and a lovely meaning.

Ethnic? English-speaking countries use Hebrew names all the time.

A very beautiful name but perhaps too "ethnic" to be used generally.

Seriously a cute name. I like the "ah-viv-ah" (as opposed to a nasal first a sound) pronunciation. Apparently it's an insurance company, but I've never heard of it, so it doesn't bother me. What DOES bother me is that it sounds pretty similar to "ivivva", a branch of the lululemon company that has become insanely popular among young girls.
