Eve and Ava just too similar?

[AllTerrainMammy]

I think I already know the answer to this question but I just wanted to hear what others thought. We already have a DD (almost 4, named Eve) and are due to have another DC within the next few weeks. We have boys names picked out no problem but are struggling to agree on a girls name.

When pregnant with DD I adored the name Ava but DH was never really sure so it got forgotten about. This time round he's decided he really likes it and it's still very high on my list of favourites but is it just too similar to Eve?

Also on the 'possibles' list are:

Cara
Flora
Emily
Fern
Rosa

Probably all with the middle name Grace

But none of these I absolutely love! My other favourites which have been completely ruled out by DH are Ayla and Seren.

Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Eve and Ava are 2 versions of the same name really.

Rosa and Emily are beautiful, Flora and Cara are very nice. Not that keen on Fern.

Too similar although Eve and Rosa are beautiful together x

I think if you went with Ava-Grace or Ava Grace as the first name you could get away with Eve and Ava. But otherwise too similar. Eve an Flora go well and flora is a gorgeous name.

What about Florrie as a nn for Florence if you decide against Flora (which I love btw and Flora McDonald had it first!). Or Fay?

What about Ada as an alternative?

I know an Eve with a sister Isla

What about Cora? Combines Cara and Flora.

Its like calling two sisters Jean and Joan!

I think I have my answer and its a definite no for Eve and Ava. I think my favourite it still Emily but definitely with the nickname Emmy. Just out of curiosity (and changing the theme of the thread!) how would you spell Emmy. With a Y or an ie? I've only met one other little one and it was her actual name rather than a nickname and I've not seen it written down.

Rosa, Cara and Flora all still in the running. Thanks for the other suggestions too. Sadly DH doesn't like Amelie of Florence, I will mention Orlaith to him though as I don't think we're discussed that one!

I think Emmy. Its a lovely name in its own right. Its a nn for Emmeline as well, or so I believe
