Baby girl name opinions

[Bluebell2020]

Just wondering what your initial thoughts are on the below names. What do you think of when you hear them?

We're struggling so much with a name. These are all contenders, but we have a specific reason not to use each of them 🙈

Avie
Ava
Arla
Orla

Also open to other suggestions, although we've looked at that many names I can almost guarantee we've thought of it and wrote it off 😂

Avis
Ailsa
Una

I really like the name Ava

(of your list I like Orla best)

Avie - doesn’t sound like a real name to me. I haven’t heard of it.

Ava - I like it

Arla - sounds like a yoghurt to me.

Orla - the best one from your list.

An Irish name Aoife sounds like EEfa. It means beautiful.
There are normal sounding names that are not over used right now like ..
Alanna - means precious
Amy - beloved
Alice - noble
Gabriella
Faye
Sally
Fiona
Lisa

I don’t know why but after reading your list ‘Essie’ popped into head. I didn’t even know it was a name, but a quick google tells me it is indeed a name-a French one meaning star fyi.

Avie - no I much prefer Evie
Ava - ok
Arla - milk
Orla - no

Do you have one of those apps where you both swipe names and it tells you which you've matched on? They are quite handy and mean you don't have to spend ages discussing each name.

I don't really like any of them - nothing wrong with them but they're all a bit meh. Based on your choices, I'd suggest...

Nessa/Nessie
Avery
Elowyn
Nella
Lyra
Aria
Ada

Ayla was going to be my suggestion too

I quite like Ava and Orla.

How about
Alayah
Aria
Eden
Edie
Ottilie

Avie- sounds made up, how about Evie?
Ava- ok but lots around
Arla- I think there’s a milk company called arla or something
Orla- it’s ok

other suggestions sorry any repeats

eva
aria
mila
lola
lilah
ivy
alba
alma
etta
ada
ida
cora
lara
lula
lyra
elsa
anya
effie
nora
zara
leia
maya

Ava and Orla are both very nice, Avie is ok but Arla isn’t good (and will make people think of dairy products as everyone has said!).

Some similar sounds - Alba, Avery, Astrid, Alix?

I actually like Avie.

Other suggestions:
Ayla
Cleo
Elvie
Izzy
Leia
Lola
Maxi
Myla
Raya
Zara

I wouldn't pick any of them

Alfia?
Anthea?
Athena?

Avia? or Avaya?

Oh, I'm so tired of the Lyla/ Lyra/ Mia/Maya/ Isla/ Eva/Ava/ Orla/ Lilah/ Mila type names.

They're all so samey, I have to mentally pause to remind myself of the slight adjustment of the sound for this child.

It's as if we started having classes full of girls called: Julie/ Lulie/ Nulie/ Lielie/ Jujie/ Jeje/ Neelie/ Sulee

Use some different sounds!!
Give your child a name that is identifiable by more than one syllable to all the other girls in the class.

They are all very forgettable and virtually the same as each other. Ava and Orla are nice.

None of them - sorry!
Orla is the best of the original 4 options

What about Anwen?

I love Ava and Orla.

Avie - makes me think of AV on a tv and doesn’t seem like a real name.
Ava - ok
Arla - pretty but seems like Carla but you’ve missed out the C (and makes me think of milk)
Orla - love

How about Amy? One of my all time favourites and would have used myself but couldn’t.

Arla just makes me think of Arla Cravendale milk 😫😂

I used to work with a syvia and she was lovely

How about Aila? Pronounced Ay-luh. And perhaps Isla if we're going in that direction too. I love Orla and Ava from your list.

Riva/Rheeva?

I love Ava.

Ailsa? Aria/Arya? Similar sounds.

The only one I don't like from your list is Avie - I think it reminds me of Aviva...
