Do you prefer Zoe or Ava?

DD2... sister to Annabel.
I know they are both popular but I guess we like what we like

A to Z!

Zoe. There are 3 or 4 Avas just in my Reception child's year.

Zoe

Zoe. There's millions of Ava's round here (north west Eng)

Zoe! It's strong but feminine
Plenty of Ava's around, too.

My dd is Zoe and the only one in her whole primary. There are 2 girls called Ava in her year group alone. (As well as 2 called Eva, and an Evie and an Aoife) I think Zoe is more classic whereas Ava is popular now: like Jean and Joan in the 1940s/ 50s and Karen, Claire and Louise in the 1970s. There have always been Zoes but it has never been a top 5 name.
