What do you honestly think of this girl's name?

[emilyapplegate93]

Helloo mummies and mummies to be..

My baby girl is due in November and I wanted your honest opinions on this? My partner and I both love the name Ava and have agreed on this, however I do appreciate it's popularity (although I don't know any Ava's hence the reason we are going for this)

So I want a middle name/names that make it more unique, to go with the surname Brook.

I am thinking Ava Naomi Winter Brook as her full name.. what's your opinion on this?

Open to suggestions but please no Grace/Rose/May/Elizabeth names as I want to keep it unique and this these are also commonly used..

Also trying to stay away from anything too unusual/difficult to spell.

Many thanks !! :-) xxx

I wouldn't try to hard to be unique and stick to names you love. You'll come up with something you think is a one off and 2 weeks before your due date your mum's next door neighbours daughter will give birth to a little girl and use one of your unique names.

As pp says bear in mind that middle names are rarely used it even known. How many of your friends middle names do you know? Let alone colleagues/acquaintances etc.

Ava is fine, Naomi is fine, Winter is fine. Not every one will like them and say that popularity is a negative thing. But do you think this affected any of the Sarah's, Jane's or Tracey's of the 80's? It didn't.

I love Winter! I'd swap its position in the name with Ava and have it as the first name. Although your choices as lovely.

Keep Winter in there, I like it.

If you like those names, go with it. I told no one what I was going to call my son, I knew there would be people who didn't like it and didn't care for anyone else's opinion!

I like Naomi Brook - strong and pretty
Or marianne brook.

Everything sounds good with brook- a good starting point!

I love it, and the Winter bit for me makes the whole name flow more - don't be put off, i think its a lovely name, neither poncy or common.

Winter has grown on me since the start of the thread. There is also the option of shortening it to Winnie if your DD decides she'd like a less unusual name.
