Not necessarily. I know of families that have sons & daughters named after the same ppl. Ask your LOR...

I did not mean halachically. I meant that it would be sort of strange to have a Tzvi and Tzvia siblings.

I don't think it's strange especially when there is a specific person in mind that you are naming after so why change the name to Ayala if you like the name Tzivia anyhow? I can only see changing a name if you really don't like the way it sounds (for example a yiddish name that you'd prefer the hebrew version of it etc).

I was under the impression that Tzivia and Tzvia are different names.

Tzivia is a name from the Tanach - she was a queen mother in Yehuda - mother of Yehoash who became king when he was seven. I think Tzivia (or Tzviya, its doublet - not in Tanach) is a beautiful name.

The beautiful deer of the desert is the White Oryx. There are also beautiful Ibex. I don't know if there is a name possibility there.

I think ibex would be Yael.
How about a different type of twist - like Tzofiah?
Or as a middle name?

Today on onlysimchas I saw a yoni married to a yonah, which I think is MUCH weirder (and cool!) than having a tzvi and a tzivia. Eventually tzivia will IYH get married and change her last name so you'll have a Tzvi ____ and a Tzivi >>>> and no one will even know they're sibs...

I think Tzvia is just the Israeli way of pronouncing Tzivia.
Tzivia/Tzvia and Tzvi do sound similar, but it's okay to have kids with similar sounding names, like Baruch and Bracha. Personally I think I'd avoid it unless I had a special reason to name a similar-sounding name.

No, they are two different names. Same letters, different vowels. Someone already said Tzivia was the mother of Yoash.

The only reason they have different vowels is that modern Israeli Jews called their daughters Tzvia instead of Tzivia, like their grandmothers. Tzvia is the modern version. Don't they mean the same thing, a female deer?

So what if they have the same meaning. So do Orit and Ora, but they are not the same name. Tzivia is a name from Tanach and Tzvia is a female version of Tzvi. Probably Tzvia is used more, but it does not make it the same name.

I agree with Isramom that Tzvia & Tzivia are the same name & usually not the other Tzivia that Shalhevet & someone else mentioned here (mother of Yehoash)..
