A name like Ava

I really love the name Ava, however my DD has two middle names and this is one of them! I don't feel I can use it, so can anyone suggest any names silmilar to Ava? The other name I really liked was Eliza but again my DDs other middle name is Elizabeth so I can't really use that either.

Why can't you use it? Your daughters are individuals and won't always be little girls sharing the same house. I don't know any of my friends' middle names.

We wanted eoife - ee fa for this baby

But it's a boy

I know a little girl called Avalon nn Avie which is so pretty.

LaBag - I just feel is might be a little unfair, not sure how DD1 would feel, can't ask her right now as she's only 22 months old.

I have always loved Aoife but DH wasn't keen when I suggested it first time round.

Oh I really like Ivy, but I have a Poppy already so just a little too much having both.

My partner loves Ava but I much prefer Ada, which he hates!

Oh I can't use Eliza either as DDs first middle name is Elizabeth. Confused

Aliza
I know of sisters Aliza & Ava

shavmcv · 17/09/2011 10:25

What about Dana or Vada (Sultenfuss from my girl !) Smile

HooverTheHamaBeads · 18/09/2011 08:38

Sofia/Sophia if you like a name ending with an 'a'

I too loved Ava but DH didn't like it.

We chose between Mia and Zara in the end.

Have friends with a beautiful grown-up Dana.

LOVE Vita though (although when I raised it on here I discovered it's about to be launched as a PlayStation console, which may or may not spoil the name, time will tell!)

Gingersnap88 · 24/09/2011 14:35

Aida Smile

Faffalina · 25/09/2011 10:12

For a name similar to Eliza, how about Elissa?
