Amelia, Ava or Olivia?

[ShowMeTheWayHome]

These are my front runners but I really can't decide between them!

I feel;

Amelia is quite a mouthful to say and I'm not sure what people will shorten it to. An Amelia I know is nicknamed 'Meems'.

No one I speak to is over keen on Ava.

And Olivia is very popular!

Can you please give me your opinions?

Thanks

I know an Emilia and an Amelie. I think they're both much rarer and interesting, personally.

Olivia

Ava

Thank you so much for everyone's opinions, really appreciate it.

This is my first so don't really know the names of many young children in my area. Couldn't say what is popular or not locally.

Does anyone like Jennifer?

My child is a 'Ava' B (ok different name) at school, she still loves her name! I get in the Mumsnet world, having the same name as someone else in your class is just awful, but in reality, it's no biggie. It's better to have a lovely name you adore, and not just pick something to be different.

Ava of those three.

Jennifer is lovely.

Geniveve?

Favourite is Ava from that list

Jennifer is lovely, and unusual atm. Amelia to me is always 'without limbs'. (medical term) so I really really don't like it.

Jennifer, Jenny, Jennie all lovely!
Also love Genevieve

I love Genevieve.
But Jennifer is really nice as well:)!

Jennifer is lovely ❤️

Oh but Ava's gorgeous. And it depends on where you live, I know one teenaged Ava and none elss

Jennifer is lovely, and she is very likely to be the only one in her class. I only know one Jennifer under 18, and she's Scottish- it's even less common in England. But still a very normal name, and Jenny is cute!

I'd probably shorten it to Jenna

I like Olivia and Amelia is my favourite. Personally, and this will depend on where you live, I would avoid Ava - we are awash with Ava's in South London and Essex.

I love Amelia

It's usually shortens to milly/millie but could also be Amy

I like Amelia but also love Amelie (French) just a little different. Also Abigail?
Then Olivia.
Last Ava.

I have an Amelia and love it. Her classmates have christened her Mimi though.

Amelia - it's my dd's name

I know everyone says it's hugely popular but dd now 12 was the only Amelia all through nursery/primary school and now at secondary (I very large secondary) she is one of only 3

The only other Amelia I know is a lady in her 40's who uses Amy as nn

My dd nickname is Minnie, not intentional we thought it would be Millie but dd1 couldn't say it and called her Minnie and it's always stuck
