User Comments about the name Ava
Comment left Nov 19, 2009: "my daughters name is Ava Noel. It is becoming very popular, but not where we live, so theres not so much confusion!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Nov 17, 2009: "My name is Ava and I was born in 1952. Growing up there was never any other "Ava's". Actually the first time I met another Ava was only 5 years ago and she was also in her 50's. Having an unusual name made me feel self concious as a child, but as an adult, I love my name, have many compliments on it and have told my mom "Thanks for naming me Ava"..."

Comment left Nov 10, 2009: "I am only 7 weeks pregnant but have picked "Ava Elizabeth". However, my cousin, who is nearly ready to have her baby has just announced she will name her baby Ava if it is a girl. What should I do? it drives me crazy this is now such a popular name!!!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 18, 2009: "I loved the name Ava and named my daughter it but changed it weeks later as there were just so many and after having 5 friends on my mobile called Clare, did not want the same to happen to my daughter !! ?She was weeks old and being called by her sirname at baby groups!!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 16, 2009: "I named my youngest daughter Ava Colette! I fell in love with the name Ava when I saw movies and photos of Ava Gardner when I was younger even though there weren't many people my age who knew anything about her. I loved old movies and there was not another name that made such a statement as Ava does!
Her middle name Colette was perfect because I love everything French since I'm half French & half Russian. The way it flows off of your tongue as you say Ava Colette just makes a statement as if to announce royalty!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 09, 2009: "Just had my daughter on Sept 5 2009 and named her Ava. I know it's a very popular name but I LOVE this name and didn't want to regret using it just because it was popular. I've had many people comment that they have never heard the name and often ask how it's spelled." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 28, 2009: "I have always wanted to name my daughter Ava after actress Ava Gardner who was popular in the 50's. I have no idea where this recent popularity has come from, but it is a very pretty name so it's not very surprising, I must say." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 22, 2009: "I named my daughter Ava and I think it is an elegant and classy name and I hope she likes it when she grows up. I live in England and the name is not as popular as it is in Amercia but it wouldn't have bothered me or influenced my decision. The fact it is so popular proves what a beautiful name it is!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 16, 2009: "Ava has been one of my favorites since I started thinking about what I will name my children as a teen (in the mid 90's). At that point, Ava was still an uncommon old fashioned name. I must have been psychic, because since then it's popularity has soared, and that aspect of it has put it off my own personal list. All the girls I grew up with were named Jennifer, Amber, and Lindsey and the teachers had to call them Jennifer A, Jennifer B, Jen, and Jenny. Ava will likely follow suit in being one that requires a last initial in class. It will still be a beautiful name, but it will not be a name that precedes or defines them, they will have to carve out their own path because so many other girls will be named this as well."
