My husband and I love the name [name]Ava[/name] for a girl, and would like to have [name]Jean[/name] as a middle name as its a family name, but we joked once it sounded like aubergine, and now it has stuck!
Does anyone think that [name]Ava[/name] [name]Jean[/name] sounds similar to aubergine?!!
We don’t want to give the baby a name its going to be teased over, so would like your opinion on whether you think its an issue or not (or if its just us thinking that everyone is going to hear aubergine in her name!)
I had to think a moment before I remembered what aubergine was–don’t think I’ve even heard the term in 10 yrs or so. I doubt a child (or an adult) would make that connection.
You’re overthinking. It doesn’t sound that much like Aubergine, first of all. That is if you’re pronouncing [name]Ava[/name] Ay-va. If you’re pronouncing it more like [name]Ah[/name]-va, then it it is a little rhymey but I agree, so few people know the term aubergine, it’s hardly the worst thing, and middle names aren’t used that much anyway. If you love [name]Ava[/name] [name]Jean[/name], please use it.
[name]Ava[/name] [name]Jean[/name] would only be classed as Aubergine if you use it as a double name.
[name]Ava[/name] (first name) and [name]Jean[/name] (Middle name) wouldn’t make too much difference as people would only know her as [name]Ava[/name] J …
If your concerned about the Aubergine thing then you could use 2 middles.
Aubergine wasn’t the first thing that came to mind, but [name]Ava[/name] [name]Jean[/name] doesn’t seem to go together, and there’s a large lack of flow.
If you tweak one of the names a bit, neither of these issues will be a problem. Most all of these names have your original names as potential nicknames.
I like [name]Ava[/name] [name]Jean[/name], and I don’t think it sounds like aubergine (unless, as someone above said, you’re saying [name]Ah[/name]-va?)
