Ava or Evie

[FunnyMummy2214]

Me and my partner have been going back and forth of what we would call a baby girl if ever we have one,

Can you help us decide ?

They're both similar - does one work best with your surname?

Neither. There are millions of them! There are about 4 in my daughters nursery and about 50% of my friends have named their child either Evie or Ava

What initial does tori surname start with?
I don't like A names with an object surname
. For example
A Wood
A Cook
A Barker

I prefer Ava, as Evie is too twee for me. Both are super popular, but I assume that doesn’t bother you.

Our last name is Moyser

I like Evie and I think it goes better with your surname.

P.s ignore the comments about them being popular, they are popular because they're lovely! It's utterly stupid to pick a name you like less just because it's 'different'.

Evie

Evie Moyser is easier and flows nicer

Ava.
Evie is a magazine, a skincare brand and a clothing brand.

Evie. Ava is horrible

Prefer Evie too. Think it flows better with your last name.
Also names are popular for a reason - because they are lovely! That shouldn't automatically be a reason to discard them.

They are both very.
Go with your instinct!

Personally, I prefer Evie

But I do wonder if you should go on to look at other options, only because if both of you can't decided neither are probably right.

We gave my daughter the only name we both agreed with really liked

Can't believe how hard it was to choose! There are so many lovely names out there but when it comes to picking just one it's difficult

I prefer Ava but Eve over Evie. I think Eve is beautiful and I'm not a fan of the idea of 36 year old Evie.

Going purely on an Ava and Evie at my daughter's school - Ava without a doubt!

Personally I prefer Ava. Evie is probably even more frequently used.
But do you know how insanely popular these names are? Literally half the girls in her class will be either one of these or a slight variation of it! My DD has a name which isn't that popular and there was another in her class. It's a bit annoying to always be Child A/surname. DD knows at least 4 Evie's in her year.

As long as you don't mind the name being really popular (lots of Avas and Evies at my children's school) them both are nice. I prefer Ava.

I prefer Ava as Evie sounds a bit whiney to me!

I prefer Ada to Ava though.

As you are not pregnant it isn't an issue.

The Evie/Eve/Eva/Ava/Evelyn trend might have passed by then

Half the girls in the class won't be called Ava or Evie, statisticly that would be incredibly rare.

I vote Ava, as it sounds like a name in its own right instead of a shortened name, and it would suit a grown up too.

@SouthOfFrance, it isn't unlikely that the class would have several girls called Eve, Evie, Ava, Eva and Ivy. Add to that a Niamh and an Edie and the names get very samey

Local school had four Olivias in a class one year

I think Evie goes better with your surname.

But both names v v popular so she is likely to be one of many Evie/ Avas at school- if that bothers you?

Don’t tell OP to ignore posters who’ve taken the time to contribute. How rude.

Popularity is worth mentioning. Unless they work with children many first-time parents have little idea about name popularity.

I do agree with pp who point out that ay and ee- v names are very popular at the moment, making all of them feel more ubiquitous. One of my children’s classes in Infants had:

Eva (evva)
Eva (eeva)
Evie
Evelyn
Aoife
and a boy called Evan. They all sound very similar across a busy classroom.

Ava. It's not as popular as it used to be. I really like it.

Prefer Ava but both nice.

I know a lot more Evies than Avas. Ada also seems more popular than Ava in my area.
