Hi all :) this is my first post.
We're expecting our first child (a little girl) in August and we're really stuck on choosing a name. Our favourite was Ava but then we were told it's becoming more and more popular now, and I don't want her to be Ava (1of3) in school.
Here's a list of some of the names we've shortlisted - as you can see they're all quite similar. So I was hoping anyone could just give their views on whether they know many people with the same names and which you like. Thank you!
Ava
Cora
Maya
Kyra
Ivy
Ayla
Myla
Rosa
Nora
Aya (pronounced like Ava but with a Y)
Iva
Ruby

Nora gets my vote.

I like Rosa too, but not really any of the others.

Would you consider Eva?

I love Nora! I think it's beautiful

Rosa but then I have a beautiful aunt rosa so have always loved the name. I like Nora too.

Cora

I love Ruby. Another option that is less frequently used but may fit with the type of names you like is Orla.

I love Maya, and I like Cora and Kyra too. I'd maybe add Anya and Lyra to your list - congratulations on your baby girl!

My vote is for Nora (though I prefer Norah) it's so darling

For what is worth I know 4 Ava's (2 under 2s)
1 Cora (1 year old)
No Maya's
1 Kyra
No Ivy's
No Ayla's but 6 Isla's (all under 3)
1 Rosa
No Aya's, Myla's or Nora's
5 Ruby's but all but 1 are over 3 (other one is a 1 year old)

Lovely to see how many like Rosa, I have one so that's obviously my top choice 😊 Never met another one, although have heard of a couple more through the grapevine Smile
Another one along the same vein is Ada?
