Torn between two names

Hey everyone!

I am really torn between [name_f]Ava[/name_f] and [name_f]Ella[/name_f]. I feel as if I would not be able to use the both of them in the future because they sound too sickly sweet paired together. I know both are very popular, but that doesn’t bother me. Which one is the better choice? I’ve laid out the pros and cons of both names:

[name_f]Ava[/name_f] is a name I fell in love with the moment I first heard it! I love the old Hollywood glamour image it portrays, and the fact that it begins with an “A” and ends with an “a” (my name does as well). This may be a stretch, but it could perhaps even honour my great-grandmother [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]? My only concern is that it doesn’t match my regular naming style, as many people perceive it as trendy.

[name_f]Ella[/name_f] is a newer addition to my list. I am very much attracted to its vintage appeal and fun nickname “[name_f]Ellie[/name_f]”.

Which name do you prefer, and why?

I prefer [name_f]Ella[/name_f]. [name_f]Ava[/name_f] has a harsh sound to me.

Probably not helpful but I prefer some other names on your sig more: [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Arabella[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f].

You could use [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] (or any of the many other ‘elle’ ending names, or [name_f]El[/name_f] starting names such as [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]) and have [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] for short.

Judging from the world you wrote about each, I’d say intuitively you love [name_f]Ava[/name_f] more. I’d trust it and lean in.

Between [name_f]Ava[/name_f] and [name_f]Ella[/name_f], I like [name_f]Ella[/name_f] better.

I agree with this.

As to my personal opinion. I love both names. I also feel they definitely could be used for siblings. I personally prefer [name_f]Ella[/name_f].

What about [name_f]Avia[/name_f]? A good mix of [name_f]Ava[/name_f] and [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] and also starts and ends with a…or [name_f]Evie[/name_f] if you want to honor [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]?

Settle up and go with [name_f]Eva[/name_f] or [name_f]Alia[/name_f]

Yeah again, I agree :slight_smile:

I personally prefer [name_f]Ava[/name_f], and going from your post, it sounds like [name_f]Ava[/name_f] is the perfect name for you.

It sounds like [name_f]Ava[/name_f] is the name for you.

I prefer [name_f]Ava[/name_f], and I think it’s your first choice, also! You can’t go wrong with either name, however.
