Please help us decide on a middle name for our baby girl

We have definitely decided on the name Ava for our baby girl who is due to be born next week !
I know it is popular right now but we absolutely love the name and don't know of any Ava's at nursery or primary school .
We are struggling to finally decide on a middle name .
I'd like something that is very pretty and also classic .
Middle names we like are :
Ava Isabella
Ava Elizabeth
Ava Sophia
We may add in Rose after as a second middle name because my 5 year old son has called her Flower all through pregnancy as has the whole family as a result so thought it might be nice to give her a Flower name too!
My favourite is Ava Isabella followed by Ava Elizabeth whereas my husband likes Ava Sophia (which I do like but my colleague at work has just called his daughter Anna Sophia so I think it would look like we are copying !
Would really like to hear which name you like best - more than happy if you want to give an alternative suggestion but we aren't looking for long lists of names at this stage.
Thank you so much 😊

Out of your choices I prefer Elizabeth. What about Fleur? Pretty and covers the flower option.

Ava Florence to pick up the flower reference
or
Ava Elizabeth

Ava Elizabeth Fleur - perfect!

I think that after Ava a middle name starting with a consonant would flow better, so Ava Sophia - which is very nice.

Personally wouldn't use a name ending in A.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply everyone , this is really helping and am starting to think Ava Elizabeth could be the name but I also really like Ava Florence too. Happy for any more views / suggestions though x

Ava Violet

I personally wouldn't go for a middle name beginning with a vowel, the -a ending of ava doesn't flow that well with Isabella. Ava Rose is lovely on its own without a third name.

Absolutely love Ava Sophia (though might possibly be swayed by your colleague copying issue).

All three are really lovely though. You can't go wrong.

Ava Elizabeth is beautiful.
