Help[Opinions] Divinia
What do you think of this name? I literally just heard it on the television, but my first impression is that it's really pretty. What do you all think? :)

It has a pretty sound, but it looks too much like the word "divine", which makes it seem a bit ostentatious. I'd go with Lavinia. It's more down-to-earth.

reminds me of Davidica, or maybe just a real bratty bossy littl girl..

I'm familiar with Davina, a feminine form of David.
But Divinia is new to me. It hits me in the face with religion so I'm not liking it at the moment. There are other names like that, Concepcion, Immaculata, Salvatrice, etc., that I do like. So I'm not closing the door on Divinia.
But with Immaculata and the rest I have a sense that they are poking fun at themselves. There's an air of whimsy about them. With Divinia I get the opposite feeling: as if some uptight religious parent is imposing holy H*ll in Earth on the child. It makes me shiver, to be honest. But in an effort to be even-handed I'll try to mull it over and get back to you if I make any progress.

It may be a little pretentious, but I like it nonetheless. I definitely think it's better than Lavinia, and can also be shortened to Vinia (although I still prefer Vinia on its own).
