Hey all ,
We just found out we are having a Girl!
Stuck between the names Aria & Evie
Any thoughts on the names ?
Also does it look silly if the middle name doesn't flow as much we wanted to use a grandparents name to honor them which is Sarah
😀

Aria because I see Evie as a nn for other names not a name in its own right

IWannaSeeHowItEnds · 12/05/2018 18:12

Aria is very Game of Thrones. In the future it will be like Neighbours fans who called their kids Kylie. Even though it's pretty, I'd avoid on the grounds that it will date very quickly.
Also Evie goes much nicer with Sarah.

Evie, Evie Sarah is really nice.

Aria is vv popular now.

Aria is a full name, not a diminutive, like Evie, so I prefer Aria. I'd never assume a Game of Thrones reference, as it's pronounced differently as well as spelled differently. The Aria I know - in her 30s - was so named because of the music reference, and long before GOT TV series.

How about Ariana?

Ariana Sarah

JumpingFrogs · 12/05/2018 20:46

Aria sounds a bit gimmicky. I think I would go for Eve Sarah, nn Evie

ICantCopeAnymore · 12/05/2018 20:49

Aria is very popular at the moment because of Game of Thrones' Arya. I also teach a Tyrion Grin

Saying that, there are three Evies in my current class.

Out of interest what did you go with in the end ?

PlantPotting · 11/01/2020 17:06

I love aria! What did you choose @Kiaa

mamablondie · 11/01/2020 17:15

Aria! I think it’s lovely, I personally dislike Evie it seems to be everywhere and a bit ‘cutesy’ for me. I’d be inclined to name her Evelyn and Eva/Eve for short but that’s just me x

Lavenderblues · 11/01/2020 17:18

Sarah is much nicer and less overused than either Aria or Evie.

IVflytrap · 11/01/2020 18:15

Eve Sarah

Nicknamed Evie. Aria is OK but doesn't go as well as Sarah. Eve sounds classy and Evie sounds cute for a little girl.

Kiaa · 11/01/2020 21:45

We went with Aria middle name Skye
love it suits her so well 😀

Aww that's lovely!! We have an Aria to 🥰

tamarisk44 · 12/01/2020 09:35

I think Aria is too faddy. If you went with Evie instead of any longer versions she could always shorten to Eve if she wanted to as an adult.

Flymetothestars · 12/01/2020 09:46

@tamarisk44 they’ve already named her Ariaonths ago

@Kiaa thank you so much for updating the thread. Aria is a gorgeous name and the name I would also have chosen xxx

tamarisk44 · 12/01/2020 09:56

Oops, so sorry, thought I had read to the end of the thread but obviously hadn't! 😊

Kiaa · 12/01/2020 11:17

No worries thanks all Xx
