Hello! My husband and I love the names Eva and Emma, but both seem to be very popular at the moment. Any suggestions of similar names that are a bit more unique? We also like Anna and Zoe.

Emma is really not that popular, it’s 59th and falling pretty much every year.

Eva I can see what you’d avoid as Ava, Eva, Evie etc.

Not sure if these have been suggested but my favourites are Maria nn Mia, or Anya :)
I also love the name Nova

Evelyn
Esther
Ellen
Ada
Aria
Amy
Eden
Clara
Celia
Maria
Mila

Penny
Lydia
Lucy
