I HATE popular names, mainly because I have a popular name and was one of 20 in my year and an even more popular surname and I new 6 girls including my next door neighbour with my exact same name combination.

So when looking across unpopular names I came across my two most favourite names combined which someone used as a middle name for Juliette which is Avabella.

Is the name Avabella too much? Would you call her Ava, Belle or Bella (my top 3 but I wouldn't use Ava or Bella due to popularity) what would you think of a name having so many nickname opportunities and could you see it rising in popularity soon? And finally what do you think of Avabella Blair?

Sorry for the long post, I struggle with grammar and spelling due to dyslexia so I apologise :(

Sounds made up, sorry. And as the mother of two dyslexic boys who is always paranoid at how people view their spelling I would always worry that people would assume you had just spelt Arabella wrong!

In terms of popular names I would go for what you want and sod it, both Ava and Bella are beautiful names.

I don't like it - sorry. I get your problem - I also really like Ava and Bella, and I'm also paranoid about my daughter being one of several in her class, but to my mind it's too "made-up" sounding (and I think she'd end up being called Ava anyway).

You should try Nymbler.com - it lets you type in up to 6 names you like, and gives you suggestions based off those.
