Ava?

What are your general thoughts on the name [name_f]Ava[/name_f]? We are considering it but we know it’s kind of popular. Thanks!

I like it when the second name is really cool, different, or meaningful. I just think it’s quite plain, and my friend named her daughter [name_f]Ava[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - that feels unoriginal.

Her middle name will be Credence

Honestly, I am so tired of [name_f]Ava[/name_f]. We have three close friends that used [name_f]Ava[/name_f]. It’s really pretty, but very overused. Have you considered:

[name_f]Ada[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Eva[/name_f]
[name_f]Eve[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f]
[name_f]Isla[/name_f]
[name_f]Mia[/name_f]

[name_f]Adore[/name_f] [name_f]Ava[/name_f] but it’s popularity puts me off big time.

I prefer [name_f]Eva[/name_f], it is more classic. I love [name_f]Ava[/name_f] but it is too trendy for my taste.

Yes, it’s popular. I really like the middle Credence!

I think [name_f]Ava[/name_f] Credence would be a beautiful name, and I rarely recommend anything popular, I like rare names.

[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] Credence
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] Credence (ha-[name_m]LAY[/name_m]-nuh would be pretty)
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] Credence
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] Credence
[name_f]Faye[/name_f] Credence
[name_f]Harlow[/name_f] Credence
[name_f]Julia[/name_f] Credence
[name_f]Isabel[/name_f] Credence
[name_f]Olive[/name_f] Credence
[name_f]Winnie[/name_f] Credence
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f] Credence

I like [name_f]Ava[/name_f] a lot, but personally prefer [name_f]Eva[/name_f]. I only know of one little [name_f]Ava[/name_f] and one teenage [name_f]Ava[/name_f] (although spelled differently), so it doesn’t seem that overdone to me. Credence wouldn’t usually be my thing, but [name_f]Ava[/name_f] Credence is super cool! In this case, I like it much more than [name_f]Eva[/name_f] Credence. :slight_smile:

Good luck!

I really like it! I hear it fairly often, but because it doesn’t really have any alternate spellings, its ranking is rather misleading. I feel like I hear [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], [name_f]Isabella[/name_f], and [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] more but with varied spellings. I love a common first name with a very unusual middle, so I think [name_f]Ava[/name_f] Credence is great.

I love the name! I’ve only met 2 [name_f]Ava[/name_f]'s so while it may be very popular in some areas, it may not be so popular in others.

I’ve only met one little [name_f]Ava[/name_f]. I know it’s popular but popularity is not the same as it was when many of us were growing up. I think it’s a beautiful name and if you truly love it you should use it.

[name_f]Ava[/name_f] is really pretty. [name_f]Ava[/name_f] Credence is really different and special sounding. What a fun combo! If y’all are into it, who cares about the popularity? Clearly it’s popular because other people saw the appeal of it too, but that’s not a bad a bad thing. I say go for it!!

It is super popular which personally puts me off, BUT, it’s popular because it has so many attractive features. It’s easy to say and spell, it has an old Hollywood glam to it. It has a lot of character for three letters. Plus with its palindrome spelling, I think it has visual appeal when written down. So if popularity doesn’t bother you, I think it’s a great name.
