We already have a Summer, Dylan and Lily. Do you think that Ava goes well with these names and what do you think of the name in general? x

I think Ava is lovely and goes well with your othe DC's names - congrats!

welovesausagedogs · 23/03/2012 17:18

I love Ava, it's such a nice name - short and sweet. I think it goes particularly well with Lily and Dylan.

Clawdy · 23/03/2012 17:30

Ava is lovely but very popular at the moment.

Daya · 23/03/2012 17:40

I think it's a lovely name and goes well with the other names.

The only thing is it seemed to get popular very quickly along with Eva / Eve etc and that may mean it dates to a certain extent in the future.

McPhee · 23/03/2012 17:46

love it Smile

DoubleGlazing · 23/03/2012 19:07

Lovely name, and yes it goes well with the others :)

It's very popular as others say.

thegreylady · 23/03/2012 22:06

lovely but very popular round here

blackcoffee · 23/03/2012 22:07

ubiquitous, widespread, common

scarlettsmummy2 · 23/03/2012 22:10

Was extremely popular three years ago when I had my first daughter, but I think it is lovely apart from that.

UnnamedFemaleProtagonist · 23/03/2012 22:27

Done. To. Death.

WipsGlitter · 23/03/2012 22:30

Very, very popular.

SodoffBaldrick · 23/03/2012 23:10

I used to think it was lovely.

Lepreporn · 23/03/2012 23:13

Love it. Very popular. But what's wrong with that.

TerrierMalpropre · 23/03/2012 23:24

It's a cliche here. 1 in 3 little girls is called Ava.

scottishmummy · 23/03/2012 23:32

middle class cliche
no
unless you like obvious names

BeckyBrandonNeeBloomwood · 23/03/2012 23:41

It has been very popular in recent years, but I love it! It's my absolute fave name and I'm still determined to use it for my 1st DD. If you like it and the popularity doesn't bother you, go for it! It's beautiful and feminine and goes really well with your other DCs names! X

lazylula · 24/03/2012 00:10

It was on my short list and had dh not suddenly agreed to Erin 3 days before I had dc3, then she probably would have been Ava although one of my reservations was it has become very popular. As it happens when I had dd Ava just didn't suit her!

BackforGood · 24/03/2012 00:19

It's a pretty name, but has been used a LOT recently. Fine, if you are happy with that.

shesparkles · 24/03/2012 00:23

It's lovely -as are all your other children's names.
I only know of 1 Ava

manicinsomniac · 24/03/2012 18:14

I think it's pretty

Popular yes, but who cares if you like it. Names are generally popular for a reason.

Wouldn't say it was a middle class cliche though? - Ava seems a common choice across all sections of society.

LexieSinclair · 24/03/2012 20:49

I think it's lovely. I keep hearing how popular it is but I don't know of any so I guess it depends where you live. I think it's beautiful and very classic.

Sandalwood · 24/03/2012 20:51

Ava Banana's got a certain ring to it.

suebfg · 24/03/2012 20:51

Love the name Ava - I was going to call my baby that but had a boy!

thirdfromleft · 24/03/2012 20:53

I love it. One option is to go for a longer version with Ava as a nickname, e.g. Avanthia. That way you have options.

suebfg · 24/03/2012 20:55

I think Ava is lovely as it is - never heard of it as a nickname
