What do you think of the name Akiva? (it's male, just to avoid any confusion.)

Akiva Schaffer!!

The director of "Dick in a Box" and "Jizz in My Pants", amongst others.

My first thought as well! =]

It's always sounded a bit feminine to me, but I like it!

[arbus.livejournal.com]

how is it pronounced? at first sight, i thought it was either asian or jewish.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

akita is probably why, which is a husky-type dog :)

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

it's jewish
it's ah-KEE-vah

[duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com]

It is Jewish. Ah-kee-vah.

i know! that's what makes me love the name. :)

[arbus.livejournal.com]

:) Well, other than that, it's a bit feminine for my tastes. I just can't bring myself to like -a names for boys.

Re: Akiva Schaffer!!

[winninghearts.livejournal.com]

haha, I love -a names for boys. I like most of my boy names a bit femme, actually. I guess it's because I mostly like girl names, so the boy names I do like have to have sort of the same sound!

Re: Akiva Schaffer!!

[rubytitania.livejournal.com]

Yup, that's who I thought of!

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

There you go, I'd have assumed girl, if you hadn't specified.
It sounds like Akira with a snobbish lisp.

Re: Akiva Schaffer!!

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

mmm this picture brightens up my evening!!
nerdy face with a girl's name and talent.. I'm in love!!

[solitudete.livejournal.com]

Haha yeah, I actually really like it but at first I thought it sounded like a dog food brand!

[http://users.livejournal.com/___heyvanity/]

Hm, I kind of like it but kind of don't. I thought it sounded fairly masculine at first, so I don't have a problem with it on a male, but I'm kind of indifferent. I do like quite a few boy names that end in -a, like Ezra and Ira.

[holidaylights.livejournal.com]

I really like it, but I tend to like slightly androgynous Hebrew names (e.g. Ira, Micah, Elan, Naftali, etc.)

Re: Akiva Schaffer!!

[laminy.livejournal.com]

YES. The only thing I will ever think. Well, that, and it sort of sounds like a Akeelah, so I'm always like "Akiva and the Bee!"

[persephonefalls.livejournal.com]

It's Hebrew, and the earliest Akiva in history was this guy. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akiva_ben_Joseph)

[rockstargrrrlie.livejournal.com]

I like it.
