I like this, its still not something that 'hits me' like my sons name did, but Im resigned to the fact that just isn't going to happen with my daughter

All nice names are popular though. Ive given up on trying to find something 'different'

everytime I do it gets shot down anyway!

Yes, I really like Eve

Not Evie, but Eve

Great name

IllegallyBrunette · 30/10/2008 11:05

Ava is lovely and I really don't get why people say certain names are too popular.

Surely all that matters is wether you like the name or not.

I have a very common name, and my 3 dc all have fairly common names, but I picked them because i like them so it doesn't bother me.

A friend of mine has just called her dd Ava Rose, I like it

smurfgirl · 30/10/2008 11:07

My friend just had a baby called Ava Lily - very sweet. I have not heard of any babies being called Ava until her.

Talia22 · 30/10/2008 11:08

It's getting quite popular I think.

RGPargy · 30/10/2008 11:12

Two of my friends have daughters who's names are Eva and Ava. I like them both!

marmaspook · 30/10/2008 11:15

Ava is a lovely name

docket · 30/10/2008 11:17

I love Ava. Beautiful name, who cares if it's popular?

stayinbed · 30/10/2008 11:21

popular names are so because they are just nice, no arguments

rachlb · 30/10/2008 11:22

My daughter is an Ava no middle name though she is nearly 2 i loved it for a long time and still do

branflake81 · 30/10/2008 11:24

Has become very popular so don't choose it thinking it will be an unusual name!

frazzledoldbag34 · 30/10/2008 19:21

I know of about 3 baby Ava's and my friend had a baby girl she has called Eve this morning.
BUT
I think they are both lovely names.
Have you considered Esme? It's a little more unusual but still lovely ? (IMO anyway)

elkiedee · 30/10/2008 19:25

I've only met one baby Ava though it does sound like it might be coming back into fashion.

But I think its simplicity means that it won't sound awful if it slips out of fashion again.

mumof2andabit · 30/10/2008 20:48

Love it love it dh wouldnt have it though

ScottishMummy · 30/10/2008 20:52

Nice and very popular

BellBookandCandle · 30/10/2008 20:55

I think it's lovely - so did Mylene Klass who called her daughter it

nickeldime · 31/10/2008 14:52

Hmm, Ava's too popular too fast, from 1000 to no. 4 in about 10 years, so it does sound a little too trendy for me.

girl name Ava

ilovemydog · 31/10/2008 14:55

well, I have an Ava (Juliet) and don't know anyone else called it.
