Hey all ,
We just found out we are having a Girl!
Stuck between the names Aria & Evie
Any thoughts on the names ?
Also does it look silly if the middle name doesn't flow as much we wanted to use a grandparents name to honor them which is Sarah
😀

Aria is very trendy, and Evie is very popular. Evie Sarah sounds better.

Do you know that Arya is a main character in Game of Thrones?

(I like the name, but worth being aware of pop culture associations with a name before choosing it)

Prefer Aria to Evie. And it flows a better with Sarah when you say it.

Aria very popular on the council estates round here..... I always imagine it said with the Manc 'o' as per the 90s and the Gallagher brothers saying Manchest-o. Ari-o. Otherwise it would be lovely but definitely a council estate name around here. Sorry.

Why not go for Eve, so much more sophisticated.

Another vote for Aria

Realistica · 12/05/2018 12:15

Aria by a long way

I prefer Aria but Aria Sarah doesn’t quite flow. Can you do two middle names? E.g. Aria Elizabeth Sarah.

My midwife said she's seen loads of Aria's lately.. It's becoming very popular! Not too fond of Evie either.... Used to be but I've heard that too many times also!

RedDwarves · 12/05/2018 07:23

I prefer Evie, but like it as a nickname for Eve or another more formal name (Evelina, Evangeline etc).

Evie Sarah flows better than Aria Sarah too.

I think Aria Sarah is nice! Def prefer it to Evie Smile

babydreamer1 · 12/05/2018 06:17

Aria is beautiful, doesn't work with Sarah though. But then again nobody really uses their middle name on a day to day basis.

Joeybee · 12/05/2018 03:02

Aria to me sounds like a more 'full' rounded name. I think it holds itself as a name in its own right. Whereas Evie sounds like a nickname for Eva or Evelyn or something similar. I also think Evie is a little too cutesy to be useable on an adult.

KirstenRaymonde · 12/05/2018 03:01

Aria. Evie is nice but a) literally everywhere right now and b) great for a little girl but not so much for an adult woman

Aylarose · 12/05/2018 02:15

Aria sounds really pretty! Evie is nice too but I prefer Aria.

peytonlia · 12/05/2018 01:15

Aria for sure! Such a pretty name. Evie is a little over-used imo.

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 12/05/2018 00:39

Aria! But (check the NN) I'm biased!

Asdfghjk · 12/05/2018 00:37

Aria Evie’s been quite common the last few years but I haven’t heard Aria x
