Ava, Edie or Bay for a girl?

[Fashionmama99]

Really struggling to choose our baby girl's name... DH and I like Ava, which is a top 10 name, Edie, a top 200 name and Bay which is a top 1000 name. So all quite different

[Stevefromstevenage]

I have never heard the name Bay and I am not keen. I prefer Ava from that list.

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

Oh I like Bay.

[megletthesecond]

Edie.

There's a lot of Ava and Eva's at the dc's school. Bay is nice, although possibly unisex. At least it would confuse me ( not hard).

[ByAllMeansMoveAtAGlacialPace]

Not Bay.

I hear and see on Instagram my teenage nieces using the word 'bae' every four seconds and it makes me cringe.

Love Edie. Ava is nice but a little over-used maybe?

Ava

Ava

[FoxesSitOnBoxes]

Not Bay. At all. Yes, I'd think you'd called her Bey and think you were very silly.
The others are lovely though!

If i'd of had another child it would possibly of been an Ava. Love the name! I know it has grown in popularity by the polls but I don't know any. Maybe it depends where you live. I also like Edie. Not so sure about Bay. My guess is everyone votes bay because it's a bit different. Gd luck choosing. .

[AnnaMarlowe]

Not Bay.

(Baywatch, eBay, Botany Bay - the annoying nickname opportunity is huge)

The other two are lovely.

[PlymouthMaid1]

Rea!ly !ike Edie from that list. Not keen on Bay.

[sonlypuppyfat]

Bay?

[RainbowDashian]

Out of those ones definitely Edie.

[katemess12]

Surely Bay is not a name?

Also, I second the "bae" thing.

I like Ava and Edie equally, but Edie is less popular, so I'd choose that.

[Waterlemon]

I have a niece called Bayley - I always thought if it as a boys name, and wasn't keen at first but it's actually very pretty now that she has "grown" into it. So I'm going against the grain in saying - I actually really like "Bay" it's just not a name I would personally choose.

I also love Ava, but it is very popular, maybe too popular. But I think Edie is my favourite if the three. I love very "old" names like Edie, Mabel, Florence, Martha etc.

[Oysterbabe]

Edie. Ava/Eva is crazy popular and rather bland IMO.

[ifcatscouldtalk]

Where are all the Ava's? (genuine question.) Does popularity of a name affect your choice OP? Also intrigued about teens usage of "bae". Whats that all about?! Feel so old!

[JasonDerulo]

I love Edie

[SaigonSaigon]

I absolutely love Bay. It is a unisex name, and nicely unusual. There's a female model called Bay Garnett which is where I first saw it. And Kirsty Allsop has a son with that name too.

Ava is everywhere. It's lovely but overused right now

Edie is a lovely choice too!

[BertrandRussell]

Bay as in bay tree?

[AngharadTheSplendid]

Not another Ava!

Bay is great. Edie is a bit 'of the moment' so may date.

[Wispygypsy]

Ava

[PotatoBread]

Absolutely not Bay. I'd think you were calling your child Bae if I heard you say the name. Awful.

I like Edie

[i8E314]

I love Bay.

What is 'the bae thing'?

[marmitecrumpets]

Edie

[i8E314]

Waht about Béa short for beatrice. sounds like Edie's sister (maybe)
