In the Netherlands, people spell it in two different ways:
1. Afief: as the ‘ie’ is pronounced /i:/. This is the correct phonetic way to spell it in Dutch
2. Aviv: as the ‘v’ is pronounced as /f/. This is derived from the spelling of Tel Aviv.

My name is Farhan but my family calls me “Afif”. To be honest, I used to dislike this nickname when I was little but now, I wanna use it all the time, especially after realizing that it means “chaste”!
