Are these 3 names overused at the moment in your opinion - the last 2 mainly by being similar to Ava? Stuck!

dd (8) had a party a few years ago where amongst 8 guests there was an Eve, Evie x 2 , Eva, Evelyn, Ava, Edie.

We're in the NW.

I have never met an Ava but Eva/Evie/Eve has been done to death, IMO.

If popularity of a name bothers you don't choose any Eve related names. Fine if it doesn't bother you perfectly nice name but be aware.

Apparently, but I don't know that many. My DD is Eva and I must admit to have been put off the name because everyone told me it was so popular and she would be one of so many Evas, Avas and Evies in her class, but in the end it was the name my DH and I loved and agreed on.

Anyway, fast forward almost 5 years and my daughter is now in reception at a 4-form entry infant school. She is the only Eva in her year. There are no Evies and no Avas. I know one other Eva who is 8 and one baby Ava.

There are many other names that are far more popular in my area. Lots of Islas, Daisys, Violets, Florences, Isabellas...these names all outnumber the Evas, Avas and Evies I know combined! If you love the name, go for it. I did and no regrets :-)

Eve is not common at all! Evie Ava yes maybe.

Ava's my name Blush. I love it but wasn't born in peak popularity time for it.
