Ava or Darcy for a girl?

[Daffodilliesanddaisies]

Please help, we are going around in circles for our choice of names. I think we have narrowed it down to these two. What do people think? Are there any bad connotations I haven't thought of?

I would spell Darcey with an 'e' before the 'y'. I like both, Ava perhaps a bit more.

Oops I did mean to add the e.

Ava is v popular and quite similar to the very popular Eve, Eva and Evies you cannot avoid atm. This may not bother you though.

Darcy/Darcey/Darcie is not my cup of tea at all but I don't like surname type names. I don't think there's anything wrong with it though, just a personal preference thing. It's fairly well used and I definitely know more girls than boys who are named Darcy.

They are both nice, but very common (frequently used, not common as muck common).

What about Tracey? You'd be ahead of the curve there, and it is a similar name to Darcey.

Or Angela? Again, not too common, and has an A beginning and end, like Ava.

Ava is prettier, IMO. The only Darcy I know is a boy.

Ava

Both are nice. Just wait and see if she looks like an Ava or a Darcy. I always had a couple of names to choose from and then decided on what they looked like.

Ava

ava

Thanks looks like Ava is winning.

Those are my nieces! Lovely names.

Apparently Ava is very popular but I don't know any myself.
Darcey is not my cup of tea at all, Ava is much prettier IMO.

I love Darcey.

Ava and variants are pretty ubiquitous around these parts in recent years so she'd be quite likely to have another few in her class I'd say.

Lacey is similar to Darcey if you like that. Or Ada instead of Ava.

Ava is too popular imo, I'd go with Darcey.

I don't like either of them, to be honest. I think they're both way too trendy.

I always wanted a Darcy but husband wasn't keen and as I vetoed his that I didn't like I had to return the favour. I keep suggesting it to my girls as a possibility for future grandchildren but no takers so far.

I like both :) but Ava is definitely my favourite
