Niv? Have you ever heard this name?
| Sat, 04-14-2007 - 8:07pm |
My best friend wants to name her daughter Niv. I've never actually heard or seen this name before. Have any of you ever heard it before? Do you have any idea where it might come from? (Maybe it's a nickname for something else?) Or, do you have any suggestions for a more formal name that could have Niv as nn?
Her husband is German (and they'll be living in Germany). The baby's middle name will likely be Anneliese (a family name--I'm unsure of the spelling they'll use). What do you think of the name Niv Anneliese?


Thanks belle_petite for the siggy!
I had never heard of it before, although I have heard of the similar Neve/Niamh. I also looked it up on Behindthename:
NIV
Gender: Masculine
Usage: Jewish
Other Scripts: נִיב (Hebrew)
Means "speech, expression" in Aramaic.
I think it sounds more like a nickname to me.
