Everly.

Ava is too popular.

❤️ Everly.
Ava is also nice, but over used.

CabernetSauvignyoni · 22/05/2017 19:34

Everly, I love it!

PodgeBod · 22/05/2017 19:22

Everly.
I really like Emberly as well

I think with Everly it will be a lifetime of correcting people that's it's not Beverley when introduced as a PP said.

Ava.

Everly is a surname.

Are you everly pregnant? (I'll get my coat)

Sophronia · 22/05/2017 18:15

Ava

BlondeGinger · 22/05/2017 18:13

Everly always makes me think of Beverly.

singymummy · 22/05/2017 17:23

I think Ava is lovely.

Everly is old fashioned sounded IMO.

I always think of the way the name is shorted, Ava wouldn't really get shorted,
Everley would be "Ev" which is too close to "Bev" for me

I don't like Ava at all... it's bound to be mixed up with similar-sounding names like Eva.

Mollie85 · 22/05/2017 17:12

Ava is very popular but still lovely. Everley will potentially get mis-heard as Beverley?
as a Kirsty who constantly gets "Cathy?" It may prove irritating Grin

Everley

Everly. Ava's well and truly worn out now

RiseToday · 22/05/2017 15:48

I really like both but I would go with Everly. Although I like the name in its entirety, wouldn't want it shortened to Eve/Evey

29Palms · 22/05/2017 15:47

Everly is a surname, so of the two it would have to be Ava for me.
But it is massively popular, so I would look for something different.

HairsprayBabe · 22/05/2017 15:42

Ava is a bit over used right now, so on that note alone I would go with Everly.
