We named her after Avila [name]Beach[/name] in Central Coast, [name]CA[/name] that has always been a special place to my husband and me. It’s pronunciation starts like the word “[name]Avalon[/name]” - À-vila.
For more information on the beach’s founder and pronunciation see it’s Wikipedia page.
We loved that this name does not show up on any name lists…we think it should but are glad it doesn’t!
Oh, and she was born in the water with eyes blue like the ocean:)
Congrats to you on the safe arrival of your beach baby, Avila [name]Claire[/name]. When I first saw Avila it reminded me of St [name]Teresa[/name] of Avila and the Spanish city. Strangely enough, St. [name]Teresa[/name] believed in the strength of holy water. I’m sure your daughter will be fascinated to hear all of the special meanings behind her name when she gets older.
