Is Ava TOO popular?

My husband and I only have one name we both like for our little girl... Ava.

Only problem is it seems to be very popular in the last 5 - 10yrs, not only in the UK - but US and Australia.

We don't know any Avas at all.

Do you think it's too popular to use? Also what is a good middle name with Ava? My husband like Ava Elizabeth, but I don't...

TIA :)

My DD is nearly two and there are Avas in many baby groups and her nursery. But nothing wrong with having a popular name is there? (DD has a very popular name).

I only know one, she's 8.

I'm not that keen on Elizabeth as the middle name, as my husband's best friend's daughter is Elizabeth...

I think his wife will be unhappy if we use it. I suppose I could always ask her...

I like Ava, but it is quite popular. If our DS had been a girl he would've been aoife, love that name x
