I know how popular [name]Ava[/name] is, but I just love everything about it! The way it looks, the way it sounds, the “like a bird” meaning…it just makes me happy everytime I think of it, so I think I’d deal with popularity. Same just about goes for [name]Sofie[/name]… [name]Sophia[/name] is of course way up there, with [name]Sophie[/name] not far behind. Lately, I really like it spelled with the “f” instead of the “ph”. And I definitely like [name]Sofie[/name]/[name]Sophie[/name] over [name]Sophia[/name].
Mostly for fun at this stage, but I’m just curious about what people think! We basically settled on our daughter’s name because it was one we could agree on. I never even looked at anything like popularity then, and I intend to put more into it this time! Opinions?
[name]Ava[/name] [name]Noelle[/name] and [name]Ava[/name] [name]Juliet[/name]- I love [name]Ava[/name] too! It’s popular for a reason. I definitely prefer [name]Ava[/name] [name]Juliet[/name]. [name]Noelle[/name] is a very filler, dated middle name to me, and I think a common name like [name]Ava[/name] needs an interesting middle.
[name]Sofie[/name] [name]Paige[/name]- I much prefer [name]Sofia[/name] (and you’d still be able to call her [name]Sofie[/name]) but it’s not a bad name.
[name]Schuyler[/name] [name]June[/name]- I’m not a fan of [name]Schuyler[/name]. It’s not a nice sound to me, and I really don’t like how it looks on the page.
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Jade[/name]- What a cool combo! I really like this!
[name]Violet[/name]- No [name]Violet[/name] with a sister named [name]Lilly[/name]. It’s cheesy, and honestly I think [name]Lilly[/name] is a much better name.
[name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Kai[/name]- Very interesting. I like it.
[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Marin[/name]- I really like this too!
Favorites, in no particular order: [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Kai[/name], [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Marin[/name], [name]Alice[/name] [name]Jade[/name], [name]Ava[/name] [name]Juliet[/name].
Boys:
[name]Stefan[/name] [name]Jude[/name]- I love [name]Jude[/name]! [name]Stefan[/name] may have pronunciation problems and seems a bit odd next to the simple [name]Lilly[/name].
[name]Vander[/name]- Seems like its missing an E at the beginning, but not a bad name.
[name]Ian[/name]- I like this, and I think it goes really well with [name]Lilly[/name].
[name]Jefferson[/name]- Alright, but maybe a bit stuffy.
[name]Van[/name]- I like it a lot, but it might work better as a nickname. [name]Evander[/name], [name]Cavan[/name], or [name]Donovan[/name] may work.
[name]Julius[/name]- Probably my favorite on the list. Uncommon, but familiar.
Favorites, most to least: [name]Julius[/name], [name]Ian[/name], [name]Van[/name]/[name]Vander[/name]
Girls:
[name]Ava[/name] [name]Noelle[/name] - Beautiful.
[name]Ava[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] - Eh. I really don’t like [name]Juliet[/name], and it doesn’t flow well at all with [name]Ava[/name].
[name]Sofie[/name] [name]Paige[/name] - No more [name]Sofie[/name]… please! [name]Paige[/name] is fabulous. [name]Love[/name] that one.
[name]Schuyler[/name] [name]June[/name] style too different? - NMS, personally.
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Jade[/name] - [name]Alice[/name] is pretty. [name]Jade[/name] seems out of place with a classic name like [name]Alice[/name].
[name]Violet[/name] Mere flower - Is it Mereflower, all one word? Never heard of that, and I don’t really care for it. [name]Violet[/name] Mer would be pretty, mer being French for “ocean” or “sea”.
[name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Kai[/name] - Very pretty, and very unique without being absurd.
[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Marin[/name] - NMS.
Boys:
[name]Stefan[/name] [name]Jude[/name] - Classic.
[name]Vander[/name]- Prefer [name]Xander[/name].
[name]Ian[/name] - [name]Love[/name] it.
[name]Jefferson[/name] - Not a fan of surnames for first names.
[name]Van[/name] - NMS. All I can think of is [name]Van[/name] [name]Wilder[/name].
[name]Julius[/name] -NMS. Too [name]Greco[/name]-[name]Roman[/name]/Hail [name]Caesar[/name] for my taste. Prefer [name]Julian[/name].
[name]Ava[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]- [name]Love[/name] love love this combo. [name]Ava[/name] is absolutely beautiful, and [name]Noelle[/name] is one of my current favorite names.
[name]Ava[/name] [name]Juliet[/name]- I like this combo just as much as [name]Ava[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]. If I had to choose, it would probably be the [name]Noelle[/name] mn.
[name]Sofie[/name] [name]Paige[/name]- I feel as though [name]Sofie[/name] and [name]Paige[/name] don’t compliment eachother. To me, this name sounds plain.
[name]Schuyler[/name] [name]June[/name]- I like that it’s different. [name]Schuyler[/name] and [name]Lilly[/name] sound good with eachother too. I don’t like it when every child in a family have a set style of mathcing names. [name]Diversity[/name] is always welcomed with me.
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Jade[/name]- I like this name. Very solid.
[name]Violet[/name]- [name]Violet[/name] on it’s on? I like it.
[name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Kai[/name]- Not a fan. [name]Genevieve[/name] sounds too snobbish.
[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Marin[/name]- I love it. [name]Juliet[/name] is a beautiful, classic name.
Boys:
[name]Stefan[/name] [name]Jude[/name]- In my head, [name]Jude[/name] and [name]Stefan[/name] don’t flow well together. Could just be me.
[name]Vander[/name]- Never been a fan of this name.
[name]Ian[/name]- Short, nice and simple.
[name]Jefferson[/name]- I prefer [name]Jeffrey[/name]. This just reminds me of the tv show.
[name]Van[/name]- [name]Diesel[/name]?!
[name]Julius[/name]- I would be so pleased if I saw this name on a little boy. [name]Julian[/name] is on my list.
I like [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Marin[/name] ,[name]Alice[/name] [name]Jade[/name], [name]Violet[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Kai[/name], [name]Ian[/name], and [name]Julius[/name]
[name]Ava[/name] [name]Noelle[/name] & [name]Ava[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] - I’m glad you can get past the popularity of [name]Ava[/name] because I sure can’t! That aside, I agree with PP that [name]Noelle[/name] is very dated, plus I dislike the frilly, overcomplicated spelling. Simply [name]Noel[/name] would do and is beautiful. [name]Juliet[/name] is a favorite of mine, [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Ava[/name] or [name]Juliette[/name] [name]Ava[/name] maybe?
[name]Sofie[/name] [name]Paige[/name] - I also prefer [name]Sofie[/name] with a ‘f’. [name]Paige[/name] is, yet again, pure filler. Plus [name]Paige[/name] is so tomboy next to [name]Sofie[/name].
[name]Schuyler[/name] [name]June[/name] - I know this is suppose to be ‘[name]Skyler[/name]’ but when I look at it I see Shoe-ler.
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Jade[/name] - I don’t like such a classic like [name]Alice[/name] with something as ‘exotic’ as [name]Jade[/name]. They’re both beautiful separately.
[name]Violet[/name] - It’s nice, but there are tons of better flower names.
[name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Kai[/name] - [name]Genevieve[/name] is a name I struggle to spell. I much prefer [name]Geneva[/name], [name]Guinevere[/name], or [name]Gwyneth[/name]. And I strongly prefer [name]Kai[/name] on boys.
[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Marin[/name] - [name]Marin[/name] isn’t my favorite by a long shot. Prefer [name]Marilyn[/name], [name]Meredith[/name], [name]Marina[/name].
[name]Stefan[/name] [name]Jude[/name] - [name]Stephen[/name] of Ste-[name]FAHn[/name]?
[name]Vander[/name] - Meh.
[name]Ian[/name] - [name]Love[/name]!
[name]Jefferson[/name] - Meet the [name]Jefferson[/name]'s? It’s a no for me.
[name]Van[/name] - [name]Vance[/name] nn [name]Van[/name]. [name]Just[/name] plain [name]Van[/name] will get him called things like [name]Mini[/name]-[name]Van[/name] and Plymouth.
[name]Julius[/name] - Like, prefer [name]Julian[/name].
I love the name [name]Lilly[/name] and I think [name]Lilly[/name] & [name]Ava[/name] go well together. I love [name]Ava[/name] [name]Juliet[/name]. I do like [name]Schuyler[/name] [name]June[/name], but I’d much prefer [name]June[/name] [name]Schuyler[/name]. [name]Lilly[/name] & [name]June[/name]. [name]Love[/name]! My favorites from your list are [name]Ava[/name] and [name]Alice[/name]. I wouldn’t do [name]Violet[/name] just because of the flower theme, but if you are only going to have two children and if you love it, go for it. You could do [name]Ava[/name] [name]Violet[/name] too.
As for your boy names, I’m not a huge fan of [name]Stefan[/name], but I like the others one. My favorite is [name]Vander[/name]. So cool!
My nieces’ names are [name]Sophia[/name] [name]Kristine[/name] and [name]Ava[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name]. Yes, [name]Ava[/name] and [name]Sofie[/name] are popular, but so is [name]Lilly[/name]. I think it’s important to choose names that not only are similar in style, but also similar in popularity. That’s just my personal opinion. I can see sisters either teasing because one has the same name as several other children they know or on the opposite side, teasing because one has a very unusual name. If they both have popular or unusual names then that won’t be an issue.
[name]Ava[/name] [name]Noelle[/name] - not a huge fan of [name]Noelle[/name]
[name]Ava[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] - love it!
[name]Sofie[/name] [name]Paige[/name] - not a fan of [name]Paige[/name] either. [name]How[/name] about [name]Sofie[/name] [name]Jade[/name] or [name]June[/name]?
[name]Schuyler[/name] [name]June[/name] style too different? - I know a girl with this name. I’m not sure if she knows that she pronounces it incorrectly. It’s supposed to be pronounced like [name]Skyler[/name]. She pronounces it like you would pronounce “shoe”. To me that ruins the name, but I would never tell her that. I’m really not a fan of this as a sister to [name]Lilly[/name].
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Jade[/name] - I really like this one too!
[name]Violet[/name] Mere flower - [name]Violet[/name] and [name]Lilly[/name] are a little too floral for me.
[name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Kai[/name] - I’ve never been a huge fan of [name]Genevieve[/name]. I never can remember how exactly it’s spelled without seeing it. I would think that would cause issues for a young child.
[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Marin[/name] - I like, but not my fave.
Boys:
[name]Stefan[/name] [name]Jude[/name]
[name]Vander[/name] - This is the only one that really stands out to me. I like [name]Vander[/name] [name]Jude[/name].
[name]Ian[/name]
[name]Jefferson[/name]
[name]Van[/name]
[name]Julius[/name]
[name]Ian[/name] and [name]Genevieve[/name] fit best with [name]Lilly[/name] but if the popularity of [name]Ava[/name] really bothers you youcould always go with [name]Avia[/name] or [name]Aviana[/name]
