An Alivia will spend her life having to explain No, with an A not O. No, I don't know why. My mum just liked it.

Wait till you meet your baby and decide which one suits her.

The 1st two are spelled wrongly so she/you will forever be spelling the name out to people and correcting them. Believe me this is super annoying (I have an unusually spelled name, cheers parents!).

cosmicglittergirl · 15/07/2015 22:26

Emily.

BrockAuLit · 15/07/2015 22:26

Emily only because it's not contrived like the other two. Pretty ordinary name otherwise.

Bluetrews25 · 15/07/2015 22:27

Emily - beautiful, classic, suggests a clever, poised young lady in an elegant, tailored suit.

(Alivia suggests someone whose parents can't spell and who is frustrated at correcting mis-spelling of her name all the time)
(Savanna suggests US trailer-trash- sorry!)

Emily.
Alivia sounds/looks like saliva. Savanna is awful.

villainousbroodmare · 15/07/2015 22:30

Emily but only because Alivia is imo not a name and Savannah needs a H and for you to be American.

Dumbledoresgirl · 15/07/2015 22:32

Is there any point me answering? Have you got the message yet?

Emily.

Yika · 15/07/2015 22:35

I actually like Savannah but with the weird spelling I'd have to go with ... yes...

Emily.

TheBlessedCheesemaker · 15/07/2015 22:39

A cutesy spelling says nothing about the child who has been so named, but it says a lot about the parents, and none of it nice.

eurochick · 15/07/2015 22:41

I quite like Savannah, spelt properly. I find Emily a bit bland and fussy. Alivia? Just no.

Savannah

If you insist on no h, then Emily

ashesandfire · 15/07/2015 22:43

Emily

Or at least spell it Olivia

CanIKondo · 15/07/2015 22:45

Emily

Nospringflower · 15/07/2015 22:45

Savanna(h) for me. Alivia sounds made up and Emily is a little boring imo.

ch1134 · 15/07/2015 22:46

Savannah

Clueing4looks · 15/07/2015 22:48

Emalivanna

TravellingToad · 15/07/2015 22:51

Emily. Any name that is spelt correctly wins over a name that isn't. No matter what the names. Fact.

LauraChant · 15/07/2015 22:52

Emily is a lovely name I think.
