I like this, its still not something that 'hits me' like my sons name did, but Im resigned to the fact that just isn't going to happen with my daughter

I prefer Eve - Ava sounds a little harsh and it's really really popular.

Liffey · 03/11/2008 18:22

I like Ava, Eva and Eve in this order.

Ava is so of the moment. Eva is in fashion. Eve is the most classic version imo.

Lmccrean · 03/11/2008 18:14

My dd is Eva, and I only know one other..and she also shares my dds middle name Rose. bit freaky. I dont know of any Avas round here (Im in NI)

Mammina · 03/11/2008 17:46

I love it but is extremely popular here (London) as is Eva. I love them both but the popularity really puts me off, but it may not bother you. It will be the Claire of the naughties (not that there's anything wrong with Claire at all but I know LOADS of them who are my age)

LouMacca · 03/11/2008 11:38

Ava = Lovely.

Popluar but not over-used. Tend to get more Eva, Evie and Mia. No Ava's in DCs year.

obviously I meant to say "for what you love" not "what I love". Gracious!

Lovely, lovely name.

Quite popular where I live (London) but I wouldnt let that put you off. It is certainly not in the Isabel/Isabella league of popularity(which is completely out of control where I am) and ultimately you should go for what I love!

babysoon1 · 03/11/2008 11:01

It's a lovely name. It is popular at the moment (probably due to Mylene Klass calling her baby Ava) - but popular names and popular for a reason - they are usually really beautiful names. Ava is.

ateles · 03/11/2008 10:41

I am also considering Ava for this baby. I keep hearing that it is really popular and every other baby girl is called Ava/Eva etc. However, I don't know a single girl with this name. Where do people live where it is popular?

missblythe · 31/10/2008 19:43

I love it, wanted it for DD but DH wasn't keen.

Then Myleene Klass used it, which slightly took the shine off.

RachieB · 31/10/2008 19:39

like Ava but prefer Eva

ilovemydog · 31/10/2008 14:55

well, I have an Ava (Juliet) and don't know anyone else called it.

nickeldime · 31/10/2008 14:52

Hmm, Ava's too popular too fast, from 1000 to no. 4 in about 10 years, so it does sound a little too trendy for me.

girl name Ava

BellBookandCandle · 30/10/2008 20:55

I think it's lovely - so did Mylene Klass who called her daughter it

ScottishMummy · 30/10/2008 20:52

Nice and very popular

mumof2andabit · 30/10/2008 20:48

Love it love it dh wouldnt have it though

elkiedee · 30/10/2008 19:25

I've only met one baby Ava though it does sound like it might be coming back into fashion.

But I think its simplicity means that it won't sound awful if it slips out of fashion again.

frazzledoldbag34 · 30/10/2008 19:21

I know of about 3 baby Ava's and my friend had a baby girl she has called Eve this morning.
BUT
I think they are both lovely names.
Have you considered Esme? It's a little more unusual but still lovely ? (IMO anyway)

Podrick · 30/10/2008 18:52

Has become very popular so don't choose it thinking it will be an unusual name!

Like it; don't love it though

branflake81 · 30/10/2008 11:24

Ava Braun

(yes i know it's Eva but pronounciation is the same)

rachlb · 30/10/2008 11:22

My daughter is an Ava no middle name though she is nearly 2 i loved it for a long time and still do

stayinbed · 30/10/2008 11:21

popular names are so because they are just nice, no arguments
