Hi all so I posted a while ago looking for a baby name for dd as there was nothing that really stuck out. Now She's here 🤦‍♀️
Both myself and my partner like Ava rose but I do worry it might be a bit too common, opinions?
I also quite like MIla rose or even Isla rose.
Pic attached who do I look like?

Help name me

@IVflytrap

Ava Rose Marie (no hyphen) Or Ava Rosemarie as a pp suggested (and I think is lovely).

Traditionally, for given names, you only hyphenate first names not middle names.

I know be what your saying but I wanted a double barrel second name to be a bit different. I didn't want Ava- rose Marie, I wanted Ava Rose-Marie m. Because Ava and Archie match, and Rose-Marie is lovely together as a middle name

What about Rosemary?

She is totally adorable and would suit Ava!

Just gonna throw out a couple of suggestions...

Georgia
Loveday
Aveline
Marnie

CrasterKipper · 03/09/2021 15:11

Ava Rose-Marie is really nice.

I like Rose as a first name too. Jessica and Isla are lovely but very popular.

Wowthatsalot · 03/09/2021 15:07

There are SO many Ava/Eva/Isla around now
And 50% of girls seem to have Rose as a middle name.

Jessica is classic.

What about Georgia?
Katherine /Kate is good.
Susannah?
Marina?

FeedMeSantiago · 03/09/2021 14:53

Ava Rosemarie is nice, I think a long middle name balances out a short first name. Ava Rosalind is nice too but doesn't include Marie.

I can't believe your DH had the nerve to suggest it was big headed of you to give your DD your name as a middle name when he gave your DS his name as a middle name!

If you have any more DDs keep suggesting Marie related middle names like Jessica Mary or Charlotte Maria Grin

I like Ava Rose-Marie.
Lovely.

TabithaTiger · 03/09/2021 13:29

I like Jessica, you don't hear it so often nowadays. There seems to be so many Eva's/Ava's, etc.

A few more suggestions to throw into the mix...

Charlotte
Hannah
Victoria
Eloise
Chloe
Annie
Zoe

I prefer Marie for a middle name. Rose is today's equivalent of Louise, it's pretty but a bit meh.

How about Ava rose-Marie surname so rose Marie is a double barrel middle name? That could be interesting I quite like that?

Rosa Marie 😍😍😍😍😍

Balonzette · 03/09/2021 13:00

Oh I LOVE these threads! She's beautiful! To me she looks like a Rosa. She's definitely not Paris x

LittleMysSister · 03/09/2021 11:56

What about just Rose on it's own? That's not a common first name.

Also I've just seen your partner thinks it's big headed of you fo name her Marie after yourself, there was a podcast called baby name envy that brings this up. When a baby is named after the father no one thinks it's big headed or even thinks twice but when it's the woman, whose carried them for 9 months and pushed them out want to do it all of a sudden ifs big headed! I'd just it just for that reason you've worked hard for that!

cactijones · 03/09/2021 11:24

She looks like an Ava to me.
I wouldn't worry about middle name popularity

Theworldisfullofgs · 03/09/2021 11:19

I think she looks like a Louisa. I'm not sure why...

Congratulations, she's beautiful.

banoffeee · 03/09/2021 11:11

Ava and Isla very common- both have consistently been in the top 5 baby names for a few years. Rose and May/Mae seem to be extremely popular middle names nowadays- sort of like the ‘Louise’ of my generation where it feels 90% of women my age share my middle name!
I do know of several baby Ava and Isla Roses.
That said, they are gorgeous names so I can understand why they are so popular.

What about Rose as a first name with nickname Rosie?

daisypond · 03/09/2021 11:09

If you want to fit your name in but can’t use Marie, why not use Rosemary or Marianne? Ava Rosemary. Ava Marianne. I’m a fan of a longer middle name. Otherwise it can be a bit nothingy.
