Count down on to the last few weeks before our baby girl is due, we still can't decide on name. So todays favourites are Ava or Millie.

Love some input or suggestions welcome, thanks very much xx

I really dislike Millie, it is a nickname and I always think of either Mildred or Millipede.

Not sure about Ava either.

Sorry.

Please not Ava - it is everywhere and will date.

Camilla (with nn Millie) on the other hand is fabulous. Absolutely gorgeous.

Would you pronounce it Ah-vah or Ay-vah?

TheGrandOldDuke · 18/07/2012 08:45

Millie short for Camilla. Camilla is a great option for when an adult.
I adore the name Camilla....

Ava. Millie is a rubbish name for an adult.

Ava for sure

VolAuVent · 17/07/2012 23:38

Millie, as long as it's a nickname for Amelia or Millicent.

Otherwise Ava.

Millie

I love the name Ava. If ds would have been a dd then that's the name we had chosen.

Rindercella · 17/07/2012 23:15

Ava. Millie is quite sweet, but for a little baby/girl. Ava is lovely and will go all the way through baby- and childhood to being a grown up.

Good luck, whatever you choose!

Hmmm, I like both, possibly Ava edging out in front. I agree that both are widely used however they are both lovely names.

Ava

Neither - they are both SO widely used already.

MrsJohnDeere · 17/07/2012 22:01

Both are very, very popular.

If you don't mind that, my vote is for Millie.
