Ava Adore

Like the song. No, it's not a joke 😬
Adore would be the middle name and Ava the first name.. I know Ava is incredibly popular, I think it is a very pretty name however.
I'm not expecting positive feedback but just interested to see if anyone actually likes it!

How many baby Roxanne's or even Lola's do you know these days?? In the past ten/fifteen years I have only heard of dogs with these names not babies. Probably because most sane people don't want to name their daughters after songs about sex workers.

I completely understand what people are saying about the 'whore' thing, but there are many names that have come from songs with a sexual connotation, e.g. Roxanne, Lola.

Nobody has an issue with Ava in that sense, the name itself doesn't have those connotations.

I'm convinced this must be a wind up. Nobody in their right mind would consider this combination acceptable. It shows a complete lack of respect for your unborn child to be honest (if there is indeed an unborn child to be named).

You might get a billy shout out, I remember him posting about another little Ava Adore

Pocketfullofdogtreats · 28/04/2024 19:45

Well no-one uses their middle name, but I imagine that anyone you said that to would say "a door?".

LuluBlakey1 · 28/04/2024 19:43

Awful.

X post.

I think hope OP is on a wind up.

Well the equivalent would be to just call her Ava.

Adding the surname makes it much more specific. Do I really need to explain this to you? I'm thinking probably not.

Yeah but not quite as obvious as what you've picked.

Ava doesn't give those connotations.

Ava Adore does.

fevertotell · 28/04/2024 18:54

I love it...perfect...as Billy would say.

Yeah but this is brazen and it’s also a stupid name. Have better standards for your daughter.

SnapdragonToadflax · 28/04/2024 18:48

Love the song, one of my favourite bands, but I'm not sure I would just because of the lyrics. How about Darcey?

Then again, I did have Polly on my list for a girl...

MerryChristmasToYou · 28/04/2024 18:47

I don't like any of them @CoralWasp . If I had to pick, I'd pick Lola and Roxanne before Ava Adore, and that's saying something.

It's a boring overused first name with a dodgy middle name.

“….you’ll always be my whore”

It’s a no from me.

🤢

It sounds like a perfume from Poundland

💯

iAmBarbara · 28/04/2024 11:58

Not aware of the song, like both names but used together it reminds me of an exotic dancer or adult worker of some sort.

rosemarylavendar · 28/04/2024 11:57

As another poster said, Smashing Pumpkins. “You will always be my whore…” no.

MerryChristmasToYou · 28/04/2024 10:56

I don't like the way it ends up as 'avaradore' with an 'r' in the middle. Ava is really quite dreary OP. This.

Adore is dreadful. I didn't know of the song but I do now.

Moreteaandchocolate · 28/04/2024 09:06

Ava is lovely! Just with a different middle name!

Ava Aurora?

I was gonna say it sounds like a pornstar name.

But I think you’ve phrased it better.

BoleynMemories13 · 28/04/2024 07:04

I am not familiar with the song at all but even then I was going to say no, just because of how ridiculously twee it sounds. Upon seeing replies from people who are familiar with the song lyrics it has to be a definite no!

Ava is lovely btw. Despite the popularity, it's fine. You just need a different middle name. Adore is ridiculous, and quite disturbing in this case given the apparent song you are paying homage to. I'm hoping this is just a joke.

Woohow · 28/04/2024 06:47

My first thought was sounds like a pseudonym for a sex worker, then people posted the lyrics. We all have aspirations for our children but, really?
