Hi all so I posted a while ago looking for a baby name for dd as there was nothing that really stuck out. Now She's here 🤦‍♀️
Both myself and my partner like Ava rose but I do worry it might be a bit too common, opinions?
I also quite like MIla rose or even Isla rose.
Pic attached who do I look like?

Ok, I think Ava Marie or Jessica Marie then! You deserve your name in there!

Ellarain · 03/09/2021 06:49

Congratulations. She is beautiful. How about Eva Marie. Similar to Ava but not as popular.

jpclarke · 03/09/2021 06:51

I looked at your beautiful little girl's picture before I read your post and I thought she looked like an Isla. Congratulations 💕

MojoJojo71 · 03/09/2021 06:54

I looked at the photo before reading the thread and I thought she looked like a Rosie. How about Rosemarie?

thesunwillout · 03/09/2021 06:54

Ooh I like Eva Marie

Eva is lovely

thesunwillout · 03/09/2021 06:55

And congratulations op 💐

smallbizwoes · 03/09/2021 06:56

Avery Rose.

ofwarren · 03/09/2021 06:57

Jessica Marie!
Definitely use your name as a middle name OP!

Luckingfovely · 03/09/2021 07:03

Anya Marie?

Enko · 03/09/2021 07:06

I think she looks like a Nia but of the names you have picked out Jessica Marie or Ava Rose are my favourites

tubbycustardtummyache · 03/09/2021 07:08

Ava and Jessica are both lovely. All the Ava’s I know are school age now so you may be fine if you’re worried about popularity
FWIW my DD rejected our first choice and we ended up going with a name that was acceptable to her (it suits her so she was right!)

MumofSpud · 03/09/2021 07:09

@mlj123

I don't have an attachment to the name rose no it's just a short pretty name that matches most first names. I actually have more of an attachment to the name Marie as that's my name and I wanted to call her after me as ds has my dps middle name. However I had my mind up a while ago about Ava and then when I suggested Ava Marie I got a lot of people point out that it reads Ave Maria so then it put me off🤦‍♀️ so I gravitated towards rose
Ava is lovely - Eva / Eve would be less popular?

I like Madeline nn Maddie

Chickoletta · 03/09/2021 07:13

She is beautiful and looks like a Jessica to me.

My DS chose his younger sister’s name (from our list, he originally wanted to call her Bob) and I’ve always thought that’s quite a special connection between them.

MumofSpud · 03/09/2021 07:13

I should add my first choice for my DD (now 15) was Ava (Ava Violet) but the only reason I didn't use it was I didn't like the way my mil would have pronounced
it (Av-ah not Av-uh) - which I think was overthinking it at the time!
We went with Esme in the end! (which has its own issues with pronunciation!)
Other names on my list:
Eve
Eva
Iona
Isla
Vivienne

mlj123 · 03/09/2021 07:13

To all that say Eva Marie it just reminds me too much of the WWE diva.

Jessica Marie

peppapigfangirl · 03/09/2021 07:34

Stick with Ava Rose. She looks like an Ava and that's the name you clearly like. No-one ever used a middle name anyway. And for what it's worth yes Rose might be a popular middle name but it's because it's pretty and lovely and goes with a lot of things and it's also been popular for many years so won't date or age. You could flip it round if you really wanted to do Rose Ava, or even Ava Rosie...?

funnyoldonion · 03/09/2021 07:37

I regret not using the name my eldest DD choose for my younger DD, now their older so my vote is Jessica Marie, sentimental and less common.

ODFOx · 03/09/2021 07:40

Jessica Rose

TheHuntingoftheSnark · 03/09/2021 07:40

Eliza Marie.

Namechanger0800 · 03/09/2021 07:40

Love Jessica - it's very pretty and Jessica Marie works really well

miamiibiza · 03/09/2021 07:44

I really like Jessie Rose

20viona · 03/09/2021 07:47

Mila Jessica is beautiful.

Ava rose is way too common.
