I know that Alva is a unique name, I would love to have another unique name but not alva... I hate the name alva It'sounds like something boring and soft... Im from sweden and when im in an english speaking country i dont even want to tell them my name because It'sound worse in english...
Borne by Gunnar Myrdal's wife and by Greta Garbo's elder'sister Alva Gustafson. Unfortunately, the latter died in 1925 aged only 22.
i don't really like the'sound of it but if i knew someone with that name i would get used to it and actually at the moment im starting to find it individual and inter'sting, but i still haven't got round to liking it...that much-sorry al the alva's out there
My name is Alva and I am female. My mother is the only one eho likes the name. My father and the rest of the family wont call me by that name. My friends call me Alva. I used to hate it but because its so unique and rare, I like it now. People always mispronounce it though. I get "alba" alot. Ihave met no males with this name but about4 females in 42 years.
Correctly a male name, as in Thomas Alva Edison, but occasionally given'to girls 100 years ago because of its similarity to Alma. Though in America this is a grandad-granny name, It's quite popular as a girl's name in Sweden, though there were Swedish girls a century ago named Alva - Greta Garbo's elder'sister, for one.
