Ava? Too popular

I really like the name Ava Florence for a girl. Florence is a family name that has special meanings to me... So would like to use it as a middle name. But feel that it needs a short first name to go with it. I love Ava... But have heard that it is really popular. This is my first baby and have no idea how popular is too popular... If that makes sense. I don't want her to be one of many avas! What does everyone else think?

Lovely name but it has definately become too widely used that it has lost some of its 'specialness'. Your dd would also most likely have to share her name with at least one other in her class/school. What about Aria?

Ava is one of my favourite names but due to the recent surge in popularity it's now a no, no for me, shame!

Avia is a variation of Ava, found this: www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Ava

I've got an Ava Lily and she's the only one I've met so not popular where I live!

It is very popular, but that's because it's a beautiful name! How about Ada/Eda?
