Being named SuperViva is a lot like going through life with a first name that’s kind of like names people are familiar with but not quite.
You always end up correcting “No it’s Sanford, not Stanford.” Especially after Sex and the City.
Even if people get SuperViva at first, Super Diva seems to often stick in their minds. Sometimes I think for ease I could have named the site SuperDiva. But that would almost be contrary to the point of a site that helps you live a full life. 
Diva has several meanings according to Wikipedia contributors:
The term was originally used to describe a woman of rare, outstanding talent….The term often is used with a negative connotation. This derives from the implication that a star who is a “diva” is arrogant, difficult to work with, high-maintenance, manipulative, fussy, high-strung, and/or demanding.
Granted there are very likely those who’ve made life lists whose main life goal is to aspire to diva-dom (diva-hood?). But if I were to personify SuperViva.com, it definitely does not aspire to be a diva! For one thing, many men use SuperViva and divas are usually women (or Ru Paul). For another, today the term diva usually does refer to high maintenance, untouchable stars. Living an authentic life, which a life list lets you achieve, has nothing to do with being a Super Diva. It has everything to do with living a GREAT LIFE (SUPER VIVA) whatever it may be. I picked Viva, based on feedback from friends and family, as according to Dictionary.com it means:
to live; [Italian and Spanish, (long) live, both from Latin vīvat, third person sing. present subjunctive of vīvere, see gwei- in Indo-European roots.]
And my hope is such a name would have worldwide appeal. (Did you know the word “super” is used in the Croatian language?)
