Avonlea?

[hannahfaith]

Might just be my hormones but I recently have been obsessed with the possibility of having a little girl named Avonlea.
It's a fictional literary place name from Anne of Green Gables but it sounds like it would fit so well with all of the other vowel girls names with v sounds ( i.e. Olivia, Ava, Evie)
DH said he'd consider it if we could find a cute middle name for it so send some suggestions. We both prefer short middle names as our last name is quite long.

I wouldn't if you live in suburban UK. It's a name not infrequently seen on gate posts or stencilled on fanlights.

It agree, it's your hormones. Sorry.

This is a joke, surely?

It sounds like the name of a B&B. Sorry.

I don't hate it, but it is a little insipid. It might sound a bit like "heavenly" which is almost as horrible as Nevaeh.

Nonononono! Sorry,

Sounds nice for a B and B.

No. I thought it was the name of a cheese. Sorry OP.

I love it!

But then, my child has a middle name after a fictional literary location.

Avalon?

I think aside from anything else you'll get pronunciation problems.

I also loved Anne of Green Gables but No, No, No. Even Anne would say No (and then suggest something much more romantic).

Ditch Avalon, call it Brian 😬

Dairylea.

Save Avonlea to use as the name for your next house.

It's terrible because it has Avon in it and no one loves Avon.

If you want to continue the river theme, you could call their sibling ThamesSevern?

I think it's your hormones.
Similar names;
Amelie
Avril
Yvonne
Aurelie
Audrey
Avalon (too masculine?)
Eilonwy
Everly

I'm not keen but I think it's because of the "lea" ending rather than the sound of it

Could you maybe have it as a middle name if you're really set on it?

It sounds like an MLM, sorry!

Oh I love it OP!

Avonlea Grace
Avonlea Frances
Avonlea Jessica
Avonlea Willow
Avonlea Thea
Avonlea Celia
Avonlea Elizabeth
Avonlea Harriet
Avonlea Rose

I have trouble saying it. What about Avalon Leah?

I'm sorry OP but it sounds like an Aldi knock off of Dairylea, or a health club.

A similar sounding name is Everly... It could work?

I love it but it's not worth the hassle for all of the reasons above. Call her Cordelia.

Marilla?
