I knew a Secular Jew named Sivan. She explained that her parents wanted to name her after a relative called Ziva, but since that name when written with the letter Ves has a negative medical meaning, they chose Sivan since it sounded similar.
I’ve also met a Nissan, a girl born during that month, and a boy named Aviv. Aviva, on the other hand, is fairly common among frum Jews
