Eva

Hohofortherobbers · 09/10/2022 22:10

Sofia, but I'd spell it Sophia, like my great aunt

AnnapurnaSanctuary · 09/10/2022 22:12

Sofia

Lovinglifeand · 09/10/2022 22:16

All beautiful names. Can't go wrong with that selection. Pick the one that goes best with your surname and with siblings names. If I HAD to choose, I'd probably go with Eva

GG1986 · 09/10/2022 22:17

Sofia or Ava

allboysherebutme · 09/10/2022 22:24

Ava.
Sofia.

Ava

Jericha · 09/10/2022 22:27

Eva

Fivebeanchilli · 09/10/2022 22:29

Ava then Sofia then Eva then Ella.
(Nothing bad about any of them though).

MuddyLuddy · 09/10/2022 22:33

Sophia is a nice name but be aware with some surnames it can sound like severe.

LizzieBet14 · 09/10/2022 22:35

Ella

pimlicoanna · 09/10/2022 22:49

Ava

SassyPants87 · 09/10/2022 22:49

Ava (only because I named my daughter Ava 😊)

caitlinrose · 09/10/2022 22:53

Sofia - I wouldn't pick this because it is very common and slowly falling out of style and because you'd always have to explain the spelling. It is a fine name, though!

Ava - this is pretty but a bit popular.

Eva - this is nice and not too common.

Ella - this is nice but feels a bit more "my generation" to me (Eleanor, Ellen, Ellie, Ella) so I don't think of a baby.

I would pick Eva. Great choice!

Other similar ones I like: Evelyn, Eleanor, Elinor, Aveline.

ATwirlADay · 09/10/2022 22:57

Can't get excited about any of them.
Not keen on Sofia spelling unless you have Mediterranean heritage.
Would probably pick Ava Ella, Eve, Sofia in that order.

Pearfacebanana · 09/10/2022 23:00

Eva is lovely.

Ava - maybe just me being in the midlands but to me always sounds really Brummie "Ayyy-va" like a female "Ayyyydrian"!

HereIComeAgain · 09/10/2022 23:02

Sofia (but prefer Sophia spelling).

Ihavehadenoughalready · 09/10/2022 23:09

Eva.

UnityO · 09/10/2022 23:18

Eva

Just because the others are so so popular!

thisismyusernamee · 09/10/2022 23:27

LolaLoo2 · 09/10/2022 19:56

@thisismyusernamee would you pronounce Elle like El or Ell-ie?

Just EL

TimeforZeroes · 09/10/2022 23:30

Sofia these days can also be S’o’fee-a rather than Sew-fee-a so I’d maybe spell it Sophia.

AliBaliBears · 09/10/2022 23:48

I like Eva, Ella and Ava - no strong preference for any of them but if I had to pick I'd go for Ava.

I don't like Sofia at all, and I wouldn't like to be called that. Too 'frilly' for my tastes - I prefer the simplicity of your other names.

CoralBells · 09/10/2022 23:50

Eva
