Alivia, Zoey or Kyra ... for baby girl? Help!

[Jasperlove]

Do you feel Alivia is too common? Can't decide on girl's name!

[overmydeadbody]

Do you mean Olivia?

[CauliflowerSqueeze]

Spell it Zoë or she will spend her entire life correcting it.

[Jasperlove]

I've seen Alivia now on baby lists instead of Olivia. I like it better than Olivia but sound pretty much the same.

[Glumglowworm]

If you mean Olivia then it is very popular

If you mean Alicia then it's not very popular but Alice is

If you actually mean Alivia then pick a different name

Of the names you said I like Zoë with that spelling best

[Jasperlove]

There's actually the spelling Alyvia too.

[CauliflowerSqueeze]

She will have to say “Olivia but spelt with an ‘A’ all her life”

[NataliaOsipova]

If you go for Alivia or Zoey, she will spend her life correcting the spelling of others! (Although I think Zoey is more common in the US - wasn't President Bartlet's daughter Zoey in the West Wing?)

Olivia is a lovely name. It's popular - probably because of that. Zoe is nice too, though - but if you're in the U.K., I would spell it conventionally.

[Dozer]

Sounds like a silly made up name, as does Kyra.

Zoe is better than Zoey.

[Jasperlove]

Yeah, I never thought of that.

[SuburbanRhonda]

Are you particularly keen on different spellings, OP?

It’s just that, as PP have said, spelling Olivia with an A will cause problems for your DD for the rest of her life, which seems an unnecessary thing to do.

[TheVanguardSix]

Alivia is like a cross between 'naproxin' (Aleve) and 'Olivia' gone sideways.
Zoey is very American in its (wrong) spelling. I'm American. I can honestly say that we mutilate perfectly decent spellings of words and names. Stick with Zoe.
Kyra's ok. It's a bit 'Tyra' but if you like it, why not?

Congratulations by the way.

[Jasperlove]

Olivia is number 2 on Most popular U.S. baby girl names so I feel like it's just too common but I really like it....

[flyingpigsinclover]

kyra or Zoe

[Chaffinch4]

Olivia is popular because it's a nice name.

I quite like Kyra (I knew one a long time ago). What about Lyra?

Zoe is lovely too.

[Sophronia]

I like Zoe spelled this way. It doesn’t need the y on the end.

[KoalaD]

Zoe. Spelled like that.

Don't like Kyra. Alivia is weird spelling. Olivia is overused.

[Smoliver]

I like Kyra and Zoey - I don't mind the spelling with a Y.

I agree with the others about naming your Alivia and the spelling of it being explained as she grows up.

I just met a girl recently called Alethea (pronounced A-Lee-Thee-Ah)
It sounds similar to Alivia and Olivia so I think that would make a great alternative.

[manicinsomniac]

I like Kyra the best, I think.

Assume you're in the US as you mention the US baby name lists so I don't see an issue with spelling Zoey with a y as it's more frequently used there.

[Mrsknackered]

Love Olivia, I don't like Alivia. I don't see the point, I just feel like it's people being deliberately difficult.
I love Zoë, not a fan of it with the Y.
I like Kaia, not keen on Kyra. Sorry!

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

❤️ Zoe.

[Wolfiefan]

Olivia
Zoe
Kiera?
I've literally never heard of the ones you list as names!

[00100001]

So what if a name is 2nd most popular???

[Reppin]

Zoey reminds me of Zooey, which is a boy's name.

[loobybear]

Alivia doesn't sound right if it's said the way it's written. If you're saying it the same as Olivia I don't see the point in having a weird spelling. If you like Olivia don't let others being called it put you off- it's doesn't make it any less special.

I like Zoe (spelled like that)

Not a fan of Kyra.

[SuperBeagle]

Quite like all of them, but only spelt Olivia, Zoe and Kyra.

If popularity bothers you, Kyra is your best bet.
