VERY undecided about Ava....

I;m hearing how popular it is... and both me and DH are waxing and waning about the name. Surname starts with 'S' and no decision about a middle name yet, possibly Lydia.

Any other suggestions would be great!

I don't like either, sorry.

feedthegoat · 23/11/2008 18:37

I like both but not together.

scorpio1 · 23/11/2008 18:38

I think Lydia is fab...

RipMacWinkle · 23/11/2008 18:40

I love Ava but agree, yes very popular at the moment.

Plonker · 23/11/2008 18:41

Sorry, I don't like either. Do you have any others in mind?

piscesmoon · 23/11/2008 18:46

I don't like either.

RubySlippers · 23/11/2008 18:46

Ava is nice

what about Eve, Eva, Evie

Lydia is pretty and under-used IME

Both names are lovely but I didn't know Ava was popular. I like girls names to end in an'a' as I think it sounds classy!!

RachieB · 23/11/2008 18:57

i like both

bohemianbint · 23/11/2008 18:59

I love Ava, was my number 1 if I had a girl. But then about 3 people I know used it - and I had a boy.

If you really like it go for it, but seems to be on the up!

Lydia is lovely, lots of Avas around at the moment.

Ava is gorgeous....but it seems everyone feels that way, Lydia is lovely and perhaps a little less common.

LaDiDaDi · 23/11/2008 19:40

I prefer Lydia.

puffling · 23/11/2008 19:43

Lydia is also popular now. When I last looked it was 50th most pop. I prefer it to Ava though, it's very pretty.

Mammina · 23/11/2008 20:25

Like it but every playgroup I go to there's an Ava (or Eva or Evie), so personally for that reason I wouldn't pick it. I like Lydia and don't know any apart from one in her late 30s and one in her 50s.

clairebear88 · 24/11/2008 11:23

I love Lydia plus its my great nans name so would be nice to carry it on if I ever get pregnant that is.
I also like Ava but couldnt use it as rhymes with my surname so would sound silly

belgo · 24/11/2008 11:25

Prefer Ada or Edie

Annthecat · 24/11/2008 11:34

Too many Avas, Evas, Eves and Evies.

Lydia is lovely.
