Avianna

We’ve been struggling to agree on names for months but today this name appeared and we both instantly agreed to loving it.

What do other people think as it is not popular?

Also, at the moment we’re thinking Avianna Violet but not sold on a middle name so any other suggestions would be appreciated.

It’s pretty, what about
Avianna Leigh
Avianna Rose
Avianna Marie

Diverseduvet · 01/06/2020 20:06

I really like it, but wouldn't use Violet as middle name. Try names with one syllable.

Avianna Faye
Avianna pearl
Avianna Sian
Avianna Fleur
Avianna Love

Avian means bird or relating to birds as in Avian Flu, possibly the next pandemic. I guess the nn could be chicken.

Sorry it is actually really pretty but I couldn't shake the bird link.

It looks like a typo. And sounds like an airline. I'd think it was Arianna and someone had got it wrong.
Sorry.

daisypond · 01/06/2020 20:15

I just think avian, as in birds.

Bobbiepin · 01/06/2020 20:15

I like it, maybe some sort of Italian middle name?

MarylandMayhem · 01/06/2020 20:19

Birds

locked2020 · 01/06/2020 20:30

I like it. Very pretty

whatausername · 01/06/2020 21:34

Idk if it's a "real" name or not but the impression is that it's very try-hard. And yeah I thought airplanes then birds like PP. Fair point about avian flu, still have outbreaks every so often!

AllieCat22 · 01/06/2020 21:35

Yeah I don’t like it either. I also think of avian flu or birds, or ariana spelled wrong.

Immigrantsong · 01/06/2020 21:36

Please don't. Very out there and birdy associated.

TildaTurnip · 01/06/2020 21:37

I know Avian is in the name but that didn’t jump out at me because the pronunciation is so different. I like it!

justanotherparent1810 · 01/06/2020 21:45

That’s a very mixed bag of opinions.

We don’t want a one syllable middle name as our surname is one syllable, 2 syllables would work best

I thought of Havianas, the flip flops.

Immigrantsong · 01/06/2020 21:48

What about Ariana, Marriana, Sofiana?

LynetteScavo · 01/06/2020 22:17

I'm struggling a bit with it - is it pronounced Avi-Anna?

Umm used to Giles names ending in "arner" a Adriana, Tatiana, Liliana,

Wheresthebiffer2 · 01/06/2020 22:23

Evian water.

DramaAlpaca · 01/06/2020 22:36

It really does make me think of birds.

Level75 · 01/06/2020 22:43

I'm not keen. Seems a bit try hard/made up.

NannyR · 01/06/2020 22:48

I thought airline/airports when I saw it. I'm not keen personally.

whattodo2019 · 01/06/2020 22:53

Sorry but it sounds made up and ridiculous.
Avain bird flu and Evian water spring to mind along with spelling mistakes.
I think other poster have suggested some
Reasonable alternatives

ThisTooShallPassHopefully · 01/06/2020 22:58

It's not made up and I think it's a lovely name.
I know a little Avianna and she is a bright happy little girl. So when I think of the name it only has positive connotations for me.
I do think your accent could have a huge impact on how it sounds though, I'm no good at writing out how it would sound, but imagine it with a variety of accents and you can see how it changes it, much more than other names.
Ultimately, if you both love it go for it.

user1493494961 · 01/06/2020 22:58

Awful, sounds made up.

RyvitaBrevis · 01/06/2020 23:34

It sounds like an airline to me, sorry. Adrianna and Arianna are similar sounding and slightly less unusual.
